Yeah any number over 3 will apply, and god knows how much rarer it will be.

No, not any number. Most likely between 3 and 4.

Well i hope so even if it is not clarified that it is acculy between 3 and 4.

Because More than X can mean anything.

But in anyway i am against this new Orb, but that is just me.

exactly. "GGG let's add another modifiable value on gear so we can add another orb with which you can rng roll item values that we added most likle making it worse then that it dropped with"

If it would be higher than 4, they would've written "more than 4 times rarer". Semantics.

You probebly right my freind

I'm not sure if it's residual frustration with the last patch and/or issue with some of the decisions made by GGG over the past few leagues (some for sure warranting scrutiny). But, this seems to be a crazy over reaction to me...
The armour isn't getting worse. Sure, a perceived nerf relative to a new potential ceiling. But the gear was fine up until now with no extra %defenses and will still be fine this patch.
This is such a minor change in the grand scheme of things. It's a waste for the community to get stuck on it when other things are more pressing and should have our attention.
It feels to me like alot of people just need to take a break from the game. Things just go from 0-100 instantly which is definitely not good for the community. Things seem to be getting far more toxic each league.
Anyway, just my opinion. Free to disagree.

current values up to approximately 15% more

Many players seem to miss this fact. This means we get more armor, evasion and energy shield per item, up to 15%.

The sacred orb just a method to help top 1% player chase gear upgrades.

The only issue with the sacred orb is that, when power creep is an issue GGG will assume everyone has +13% on this stat and nerf players, or boost monster damage.

Your "Problem and Solution" format of announcements is great. And communication is 100%. :)

The Sacred Orb is more than three times rarer than an Exalted Orb. It is currently the second-rarest currency item after the Mirror of Kalandra. Its purpose is that a near-perfect item can eventually be perfected, at incredible cost.

BUT

So the next question was whether to allow players to modify base defences. Is it okay for an item to drop that has great mods and has a low base defence roll that can't be eventually fixed?

Dude, if you introduce means for doing something which I won't see in well over 700 hours of gameplay - these means are not existing for me.

Your crew is wasting money on bald concept which would barely affect the playerbase.

Especially since it'll gonna be way easier to BUY DIRECTLY perfect def item rather than have that def roll orb LOOTED.

One more self-made problem, solution to which is BETTER TRADE.

P. S. Also, more junk players will gonna have to pick. To promote buying more stash tabs indirectly. Yay. As a third generation seller, I'm quite amused by this trick. You're probably out of tricks. But this one is quite neat, no sarcasm intended.

P. P. S. What's next? Item inventory size reducing currency which is more rare than Mirror and can only be unlocked through now-almost-obsolete Harvest?

Come on GGG No one want's more RNG rolling when all gear crafting and rolling in game is RNG.
it can be good but 98% of the so called "crafting" and rolling it's not good bad or compleatly unusable

very good = haters go farm mefisto 15 hours for 1 shako :D
