BIS gear should not come from just one form of content

[Alzelia]

I'm of the opinion that the best gear should be gated behind the hardest content. Else, what is the incentive to do the hardest content? Crafting isn't hard. Farming tomes/seals isn't hard. Why should these produce better gear than something that is hard?

I don't think you quite get what I'm saying. What I want is for someone to HAVE to beat the hardest content to get one of the BIS items. People would do the hardest content to get the BIS body pieces or weapons or whatever. I think that crafting and other future additional content would provide less important BIS gear like jewelry.

He got what you are saying, and he still thinks that's wrong. All BEST items jewelry or not is behind hardest content. Just because he didn't agree with you doesn't mean he didn't understand you. You do not get any bis piece if you don't complete a challenge.
