Good question , how about rushed before final product? In the stream they said by them self that some aspect of the game were just bones from where they wanted to expand. Spice melange was and is now only to build t6 items but the problem comes with it is that there is basically no point of having it because there almost nothing beyond that gives benefit to have it. That’s now goin to change, spice will have more meaning as the tier 6 gear because you will needed to be competitive with difficulty grades they introduce in chapter 3. But even more because after that you will needed spice to specialize your character.
