I know for a FACT you and others who think this way would put "[insert raid-level gear] or GTFO" in the PF comments if SE followed your selfish suggestions. What other reason would you have for removing Tomestone gear except for creating a chasm between filthy commoners and the noble raiders?

Really? This is just more HC player demonizing. All you are doing is creating a "bad guy" raider stereotype to support your argument.

Lets be honest, raiders are not playing with you most of the time because people don't want to teach new players, regardless of play style, and raiders also sell content. Also, if a raid team has way better gear, what makes you think that they would be in PF anyway? These raiders have a static after all, they are not going to be doing sophia EX initially in PF.

Having played FFXI, I'd dare to say you have way more faith in MMO raiders than is justified.

yes, because MMO raiders are such bad people. /s

You might want to go to home depo and get a wider brush to paint these broad strokes with. Your hyperbolic over sensitive comments are adding nothing of value to this discussion. Your argument amounts to "all raiders are bad, so give them nothing!"

Your terrible outlook on raiders perpetuates a game climate that has end game progression in a choke hold. Nothing is meaningful in this game because players like you want everything to be a participation ribbon. You are literally killing your own game, not even casual players can be bothered to log in these days due to how underwhelming this game is and how poorly it motivates players.

but go on, evil raiders are the real problem, lol.
