Sneering gear snob? Your post just reeks of gimpy, sorry. You don't even have the best gear and you expect to SOLO a BCNM that the developers intended people to party up for? The BCNMs are a complete joke at easy difficulty. SE created that difficulty with lazy players like you in mind, so that is your option. I doubt it's why "so many ppl are quitting the game." Other games are considerably worse with gear checks in fights. You need at least two~three people to do them, I highly doubt nobody is willing to go with you to get seals from a bcnm.
