Retard Joe does not have hundreds of badges in the bank, he has a dozen at most.

Now, at 20 badges a week, how long will it take you to put together a full gear set? Item cost is 35-70 badges for the good stuff, so say an average of 40 if we're generous. 5 major item slots takes 10 weeks, a full 8 will take 16 weeks. So Retard Joe will have a "full" gear set (minus rings, neck, trinkets) about four months after patch 2.4 comes out - so about 6 months from today.


I don't have a problem with that.
