The only good events were the ones that introduced clear upgrades in armor, or very casual friendly with decent rewards.

Read: most of ToAU.. Salvage/Nyzul. Limbus... Einherjar was only good cause of the Abjurations and Odin himself, the Einherjar rewards were kinda poop.

But regardless of how often they release sh*t gear and sidegrades, Unless i missed something, I'm not seeing how releasing clear upgrades and excellent armor is a bad thing? I like logging in and having something to get... If the armor is a reachable goal, Its reasonable.

The only issue i think that would come is if they make all this hard to obtain gear, and then replace it too soon... If the gear is too hard to get, people wont bother and they'll just wait, If its too easy, They'll end up going too full-WoW and just replacing it every month, and then it just becomes a generic gear-grinder MMO thats 10~11 Years old, which wont end well.

I know why they're taking this path, But unless Skirmish Weapons are going to remain viable for months/years, its at the current state way too hard to get into, if they plan on replacing it with better things later on. Honestly, it leaves a lot of uncertainty. I won't stop trying to get the gear, But I see what you mean, and where you're coming from.. I just, I know I can't be happy with Crap and sidegrades forever lol.

Plus almost certainly, every boxed expansion was released/latter added with Clear-Upgrade armor that was better than most previous.

RoTZ = Abjurations/God gear
CoP = Select Torques, Justice Sword, Homam/Nashira, Some AF/Relic+1 (DRG/SMN comes to mind)
ToAU = Odin Drops, Salvage, Nyzul
WoTG = Iron Ram Lance, Iron Ram Gear, Select Cobra pieces, Some of the Gear from that, Very select WoE Gear... This expansion is a bad example outside of Ixion/Sandworm drops i guess.
SoA = HEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
