Gearing up is bad

[Brightamethyst]

Tomes should be removed. Can't believe in 2022 still using the same formula from 2007 mmos .

Introduce a new system for gear and progression already. 1 decade using the same method.

Like what, exactly? Do you have a better suggestion? Tomes are already targeted gearing, bad luck protection, and a slow but consistent gear path for non-raiders all rolled into one. What do you suggest they do to improve it?

Yes it is intentional time gating. Is anyone denying that?

Of course it's time gated. It has to be, because the alternative is people running a hundred dungeons and clearing the raids a dozen times in the first week, and then spending the next 4 months complaining about how there's nothing to do.
