Calculated different equip sets last month for
Reboot, and the equip progression guide after 25 stars. This may help in your discussions on whether or not we should receive 25 stars.

Post 25-Star Equip Progression Guide (with different cases, depending on how they want to deal with Transposed SW):

These apply mainly for Reboot, but these shouldn't vary too much for normal servers either besides some of the insanely p2w rings and stuff.
Main things to look out for is:
CRA Top/Bottom endgame forever, because of 2 items being able to get 22*. Very convenient for most players.
Changes progression flow from CRA -> Abso -> Arcane set, dodging SW/Tyrant combination, which is very nice in terms of game design and accessibility. Even 17* Set (safeguard) is very good for the endgame.
"Free" 10* Tyrant Glove from 22* Antique Root Glove Transfer Hammer to SW before Arcane Set. Much much easier than current Tyrant glove crap.
Superior Earrings -> Alien Earrings (Lv180).
Tyrant Belt -> Superior Belt (with the exception for Xenon)
Rings:
21* Superior Ring (Transfer Hammer from Meister)
17* Reinforced Ring
22* Meister Ring
17* Kanna Treasure Ring / Solid Gollux Ring (roughly equal, may prefer Gollux for normal servers for scroll slots. Kanna Treasure should be changed to be obtainable multiple times to be fair for all players)
Sweetwater Face/Eye Accessories, if they will be allowed to go to 22*, will be extremely easy to get to BiS. Hard boss accessories still technically endgame, but not easily 20*+ out of rarity. Technically would be endgame if it did get to that point.
In a sense, endgame players will be replacing 5 items (3 rings, earring, and belt). The Armor items (Hat, Cape, Boot, Gloves, Shoulder) will become pure
upgrades, whether you are upgrading from Transposed -> Arcane or upgrading laterally from Tyrants -> 17* Abso Set -> 22* Abso Set.
It's a huge upgrade, and is actually useful for many many players in all walks of progression. Keep in mind we chose the BEST case scenarios for the "current" transposed build (12/12/12/12 Tyrants), and the simplest no-risk Absolab build still beat it out. It's amazing.
