I don't think I'm going to have that issue since I don't play the game :P And if you recall, I played on Ran with the epics and upgrades. The main trouble there was was that only certain people were ever going to get boss drops which was a big limiting factor to people's ability to compete. Give this stuff to everyone, everyone now has a shot at being good. When you equalize gear what's left is a person's ability to organize a group to play the game.
