The gearing\stat system is good, we need to stop asking to make it more complicated

"I want stuff faster"
"I want to be done with raiding"
"I want unlock sooner"

Multiply this by the amount of people raiding at any various skill level and you will see an exodus of gamers.

Give them a reason to leave sooner and they will.

The devs know what they are doing to keep people around for longer. Yes they want to "respect your time" and say "go play other stuff if you want".

BUT they also don't want to artificially give people reasons to NOT stick around longer either if they want BiS savage gear pieces.

This argument has been around for as long as raiding in this game has been around for. It was worse before now before the books/token system came in.

It's not about getting stuff faster, it is about raid loot being about how much luck you have. It is totally rng aside of the book you have to collect for months and if you want to gear a second job then buckle up fella you will have to grind a couple months more.

So how is it fair and fun that one player can literally win theoretically all the drops from a raid and can be done with BIS in a week or two and someone else needs to farm for months just to get his first job geared?

And i don't even raid lol, i just see all my friends getting no loot and tbh i feel their pain. I have no horse in the race but maybe that makes my opinion of the crooked system SE has forced upon us a bit more objective i guess?
