Gear is and always has been a driving force for a lot of people in MMO's. Maybe for you it is not as important but you need to understand that a lot of different people play this game. It's the same when some people don't understand all the fuss about glamour gear and emotes or gardening because they think stuff like that is pointless. People aren't just upset over the fact that the gear they have worked hard for to achieve is now being outshined by 280 weapons. It's also just an unfair system to begin with because it is exclusively based on RNG. Some people will be doing this content forever without getting anything out of it while others hop in once and get a weapon right away.
