Blizzard introduced numerous catch-up mechanics for the cloak recently but they are stubbornly refusing to address one of the biggest issues: Newly created characters are going to be months behind players who've played since Rank 15 was attainable. And each week that you aren't actively gaining Corruption resistance, you fall further behind the curve. Due to the amount of power you are able to achieve through Corruption (and the inclusion of the vendor) it seems absurd for Blizzard to only allow you to farm one extra Malefic Core per week. In an expansion that has already been noted for its alt unfriendliness, it's moves like these which make you wonder whether Blizzard is actively playing the game.
edit: We did it, Reddit!
