And the real kick in the pants about all of this is. The untold hours spent chasing after darklight or what ever new shiny carrot they put in front of you is going to be all for naught come the next patch. As the bigger better stronger gear mentality continues on.

When ever I see some one with a full set of dark light i don't think oh wow cool! I think that person is ether mind numbingly lucky or has spend more time then I even want to begin thinking about getting it. That's why i have mostly checked out of the Gear grind in this game. I log in do some stuff have some fun and move on. At this point all i care about is getting the clear for the stuff they put in to hell with the rest.

Because Darklight was totally made useless after this last patch.

^ This guy has it right. My sentiments exactly. We should be best friends. I see the Darklight on my hardcore LS mates that did the run eleventy billion times (and still a lot don't have it) and then I think, that would be cool to have that. 3rd run in I'm like... oh... right, this blows.

I think i'm put off also by the fact that there is a chance that no matter how many times I do it, I may not ever get the item.

Also, Isaaru, do you really believe Darklight is the be all end all gear? Come on... its like saying Solid Scale Mail is still the best stuff. It won't last that long. Although the gear is pretty cool and I hope it at least has a place.
