Best Gear in Coil needs to end

[Giantbane]

IFor me it was kind of a slap in the face that i did coil1 all those months and yet I had an ilevel equal to people not doing coil.

You could just as easily say that it's a slap in the face that your casual scrub doesn't have access to the same ilevel gear you do when they pay the same monthly subscription fee.

Now I can understand arguments as far as general motivations to do specific content (and continue to do it after it's down) if you can gear up too quickly and easily outside of doing hard content. However, I think the reverse gear envy is misplaced.

Why exactly do you care if a non raider can get access to the same i90 gear? How does it diminish what you've done? You can easily tell those who myth farmed their gear because they're not wearing a single piece of allagan gear. So anyone that looks at your gear and their gear can tell the difference. Because they haven't *worked* hard enough for it? This is entertainment you pay for, not work you do in order to get paid.

Gear won't help you with mechanics.

Oh, every fight isn't pure mechanics. Sure, extra gear won't move you out of titan's landslide, but better gear can help in every other aspect of the fight. It won't win the fight for you, but it does lower the bar a little bit, and for some people, that's all they need.
