Yes, but say the gears available via hunts wasn't the weathered/tome gear, yet still i110 with different/unpreferred stats. Would there have still been an argument about it?

As I posted before about the whole roast beef-chicken sandwich dilemma, what if that chicken sandwich was instead a bowl of porridge? Not everyone likes it, but it's still something. Are we arguing about iLvL or stats? Consider the whole i90 Allagan/i90 AF2 gear situation. Was there an argument on that? I'm not being snarky, I actually want to know if there was an argument about it.
