People call people douches for acting like douches. Not because they have more stuff.

Gear swapping is not needed. Its part of your strategy to find the best gear set for the content you are attetmpting. It at least would add some kind of dynamics to this game.
Bolded your last couple sentences there.

I guess that puts me in the status of Douchebaggery then. My kind is a dying breed it seems. I like playing games for the competition aspect. The fight to stay at the top, and work at bettering myself and those in my company.

It's so very discourage watching the MMO industry turning into an amusement park for casual players who just want to hang out online with minimal to no competition between players.
