But like it is now, why even bother gettin to 500? Lots of the tome gear sucks and upgrading an ring or smt with 2 yorha coins and later 3 just sucks... we got capped upgrades for capped gear on limited jobs. IE i can gear my dps but there still is my heal and tank too, i have to deceide who gets what. ...sure I can just craft and get decent stuff, fill with raid and primal gear but still...

Playing for a longer time the threadmill starts to hurt a bit... knowing that newer players will always burn through stuff like hell while our upgraded gear gets synched to trash... plus the dam skillsync which is even worse to me...
And the thing about it is that the treadmill is 100% predictable at this point. So that 2 yorha coin upgrade going to 3 soon? The exact reason I didn't use any upgrading my gear earlier because I knew what was coming down the line.

It's the same reason I'm not super concerned with getting gear upgrades because with enough time, they're meaningless.

If I want the "savage" experience later, I'll unsync it. If I want a previous EX mount, I'll unsync it for 90% less stress later in both the fight and the mount acquisition rate.

Some people get a sense of "pride and accomplishment" in playing whack a mole 100 times to get a mount (or get that lucky 5% drop). I don't.
