This thread is super misguided. Which is to be expected of OP who spent 99% of his time on blue crammed into a corner of EC tunnel.
Research is like a blip in the radar of difficulty. In fact some ultra neckbeard mage and Necro are probably already at the skill level and farming mats to sell for your shiny coppers as we speak. You can't even begin to compare it to the difficulty of say, a melee class, who doesn't even begin to come online till the end of velious and p99 orange gets announced.
