This isn't glamour where a look can be considered better or worse depending on the viewer.

Also the idea that combat and stats should not be predicated on end-game goes against everything that currently exists in the game. You did not need to be in full i180 gear to beat Fractal Core. You did not need to be in full i240 gear to beat the latest Expert roulette dungeons. Sure, they make things go faster, but they weren't required in the slightest. Now Gordias Savage? You needed everything you could lay your hands on to meet the dps checks. Midas Savage? You still needed melded accessories if you were doing that at launch.

There is also nothing beyond endgame except the true endgame which is glamour. And stats don't matter for that.
Oh, well, i guess that if we aren't playing end game then we don't matter in your book. What an incredibly short sighted point of view. Posts like yours are why some plaYers consider end-game players to be elitist.
