That's actually hilarious, considering that the primals will do nothing but serve to save time.
The end goal for a character is to have a character with every item you want, perfect stat placement and the most perfectly rolled stats you can manage.
Do the math, honestly. You'll find that the odds of you rolling a perfect ancient are lower than rolling the item as a primal once, at which point you can stop feeding tens of thousands of blood shards to Kadala for more and more ancients hoping that you'll get that one perfect or "Good Enough" item roll.
The best part about primal ancients, is they serve to level the playing field between the top tier leaderboard players (Sort of) if you put in enough time currently, you'll likely have a really well serviceable set of gear that you can use to push GR's but that one person luckier than you has even that slight advantage over you until you one-in-a-million that near perfectly rolled item for each slot. Granted it's still going to be hard as hell to roll a primal for every slot, but better than the odds of doing it when playing RNGception with current ancients.
At this point (when everyone has full primals) people can focus on being better than one another rather than luckier, again this is one hell of a long haul.
I agree with this entirely, it's such a painful experience, you get to T6 the hardest most challenging difficulty and the reward vs time spent feels quite poor.
A bit easier to find or higher/guaranteed drop rates would make it feel much more rewarding.
