Please make getting gear faster in Dawntrail

[Jojoya]

Correct. Which means there's no reason to have it take so long to obtain it for the harder content that does want BiS.

You just used the word "want". If it's a want, it's not something that has to be acquired at all let alone fast.

If you meant content that needs BiS, what is there besides Ultimate and maybe Criterion Savage? How many players are tackling that content using multiple roles instead of what they consider their main job?

The problem with the gear system is that outside the two examples above, BiS gear usually is pointless by the time you get it. You've already managed to clear the content trying to get it, and players planning week one clears for the next content release will be going straight to the new tomestones and crafted gear since they will have a higher item level.

BiS is nothing more than a goal with subjective value for players to chase to keep them subbed longer if they aren't interested in other content.

I've got this sinking feeling that pretty much all of the people opposed to faster gearing are people who don't actually try to gear more than one job (in separate armor classes) if even that.

Or they're players who aren't interested in overgearing content they've already cleared.

Again, there's a big difference between need and want. Things that are needed should be attainable fairly quickly. Things that are wanted can wait.
