You speak as someone who's crazy about min/maxing. Most players aren't and prefer to wear a full set of armor. I see more people using a full set than not, and only those equipped in the higher tiers tend to worry about missing out on a handful of accuracy.

Personally, this was one of the reasons I really hated the idea of the removal of mythology. They pulled this same crap with the Philosophy tomes and basically made all of the previously easy-to-obtain gear murderously annoying to earn, and even wiped out the crafting materials. Both times! Seriously, it's now 9k for a cashmere fleece! That's worse than daylight robbery, and they STILL haven't increased the rank or seals cap!

Sure, oaknots... blah blah... they're still limited in the number you can earn and therefore still harder to obtain than just outright purchasing them with tomes as in the "good old days". Anyone would think SE absolutely hates crafters with all these horrible patches.
