So I noticed Sixen had asked Bashiok a question about the difficulty and tier distrubution. I'm just wondering what you all would prefer as far as tiered gear distribution. For myself I think 4 per difficulty would be cool. Could mean that each tier would have an Act theme to them. In the end you could look like your favorite zone in some epic way. Well tell me what you think.
The tiers per difficulty cannot be linear (just like the level range). People will be spending far more time in Inferno and Hell than in Normal or Nightmare. Therefore the distribution should look something like 1/2/4/12

that can't work just because out of the last 12 tiers in inferno, 11 will be obsolete since you can't pick your drops. essentially wasting the artwork. While yes people will spend less time in normal and nightmare, it makes more sense to give inferno just a couple tiers to work with, while also giving people who want to stay in normal and nightmare (for whatever reason, twinking or whatnot) some choices.

I wouldn't have a problem with Inferno having 4 tiers. Something that would allow there to be one tier per act. Since all the tier gear will be of the same level in Inferno it would allow for someone to pick a theme they like that also goes with the act they like best.
And then 5-6 more per expansion.
So... 2 expansions = ~30 total tiers.
I think that sounds good enough.

Would like this option aswell.
