Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

Ironically enough people have stopped bothering with Savage and this one of the reasons.

maybe so, but one of the most popular counter-arguments to the relic is "You can just get a Thordan weapon" which is equally as pointless, my point was, no matter what we do to enjoy ourselves, our "rewards" that we get right now will be worthless in the next patch cycle, people need to just stop being so critical of eachother and realize that their fun isn't hurt by someone else enjoying doing something they don't like. The fact that all of these arguments are going on between people just NEEDS TO STOP. I suppose my tongue in cheek point that you bolded may have been a bit careless of me, can't read intent in text, and all, so I apologize on that front

This is where we arrive at the root of the problem: content is just invalidated too quickly for anything to really have any worth. Especially in Heavensward it feels like they turned up the dial to 11 in terms of how fast we toss old equipment (we went from law -> proto gordian -> eso in like a month!). Eventually people are gonna get tired of jumping from one treadmill to another without having a nice cold refreshing glass of water.
I came here from grindfest Korean MMOs as well, but at least there my months of suffering trying to get spellbook pages to drop gave me a substantial reward that was useful years down the road.

But yes, I do agree we players should stop going after each other for differing opinions because it solves nothing if it turns into name calling and not actual conversation and debate.
