Plus, stats for now are useless if you have enough of them, so spending money on gear is a waste. We don't know what pvp/battle mechanics update will bring. Who knows maybe actually having non-primary stats will be desirable? Thus making mixed stat items that tend to have more total stats than single stat ones better?

Only items I get are rewards, random free drops, koban pachinko once per while, and as long as I did saw few epic items with my primary stat only, i rather have rainbow legendaries that give total more stats even being 30+ levels lower.

Charm profile, currently level 112. (side note: I've got stats purchased as far as costing 5001, 9501, and 5001 for the next points (don't really know how close to maxed out that is))

The (level 108) set that the Halloween event gave me has:
* hardcore/know-how
* know-how/crit
* charm/endurance
* hardcore/endurance
* know-how/endurance
* endurance/crit

Only one piece with any of my main stat. Two with crit as a stat (which is easy enough to be maxed out on without pieces that specifically raise it). And freakin four pieces with endurance (from what I've always seen though, you gain more endurance from an amount of main stat than you gain from having endurance as a stat directly).

My currently equipped items are a level 53 rainbow legendary plus charm-only epic pieces at levels 78, 80, 80, 89, and 92. I'll easily stick with these pieces over the Halloween set.

The previous freebie set, the full set of rainbow legendaries, was for level 50 for me.

If my math is right there is 19620 possible upgrades per stat. Last one will cost over 212k. Upgrades costing 5001 are somewhere around 2500 and upgrade costing 9501 is around 3k4 out of those 19k62. So you barely even scratched the upgrade surface ;].

I myself stopped at cost of over 12k, which is just shy above 4k upgrades done. Which means I spent like a bit over 60M on upgrades (well add 120M pre 2.0 from maxed upgrades back then). Upgrading single stat to max will cost nearly 1460M thou, so you can see how barely upgraded most of us are hehe.
