I think what people Fail to realize is that this game is about a year old now (ARR that is, i didn't need to point that out but you know, people) this gear WILL be outdated in upcoming patches and i secretly suspect SE wants you to cap out on this stuff as they are planing to release content that will make all of that moot.

So all this complaining about it is pointless. Then coil people will rush to the new gear. and then High allagan armor/weapons will be "for casuals" etc. This cycle will always continue.
