You see we didnt have ultimate until 4.1 I think and when I did have top tier crap i barley noticed in farms and why would i do expert if i have the best gear? Also glam is incredibly subjective. Alot of MMos fall into this pointless endeavor for raiding or trialing as i call it in ff14 of nothing to do with the best gear it would be nice to have somthing more for hardcore ppl
Adding on to the expert thing its benign dungeons are hardly any measure of victory. Raid gear no raid gear wont magically make any instance better as the lack of depth
