I don't even need to read this thread to know what it is, a bunch of people who don't play as often defending this because they deserve to be just as geared as everyone else. Who cares if they only play 5 hours a week? They deserve to have end game gear and everyone else should be forced to slow down for them because why not? And plus you can totally get other gear at the same rate they get it because everything else is locked too!

This is what happens when you build an MMO to cater to people who don't have the time to invest in an MMO.
