Allagan Gear getting buffed to ilvl95.

until we have multiple end-game events of comparable difficulty, we are going to have to deal with having 1 best option for gear. there's no reason why someone who does coil all the time should have the same (or comparable stats) to someone who logs in for a few hours to speed run WP and logs out the rest of the week. That was the biggest flaw in GW2 to me.

So, someone who logs in for 2 hours/week to run Coil once (this will be standard soon enough, since lots of groups already do Turns 1-4 in less than an hour) should have better gear than someone who logs in for 2 hours/week to run WP 10 times? Neither method actually requires more time than the other.

EDIT: Yes, I agree harder content should drop better gear, I'm just saying you can't make the argument from time spent, because there's no there there.

Absolutely, if you played 100 hours a week doing only ilvl55 content, you should be less geared than someone that spends 2 in ilvl90, its just a simple fact. To make a comparison, you can spend 8 years in high school and be less educated than someone with 2 years of college. you can lift a 20 pound weight all day long and you'll be weaker than someone who lifts 100. the list goes on. Why should someone who ever wants to do high level content, get high level gear? like i said before, when we are working on AF3, will you be upset you cant get that same gear from WP? What do you plan on doing with this top end gear if you never do anything with it except dungeons youve been able to do since AF and a GC weapon
