This right here tells me that you really aren't getting my point. It's not about needing the gear, it's about providing incentive so that all of the people who are logging out Tuesday - Sunday
I'm scratching my head why you need an incentive. Maybe if you just didn't play the crap out of the game on monday, you'd have more to do on the other days. Tell me. Have you leveled every job? Every craft and gather? Have you completed every quest? Every FATE? Have you beaten Twintania? No? then you have reasons to log in Tuesday-Sunday. Have fun helping others. Run lowbie dungeons (which next week will have a brand new incentive, just for you!), help people with titan, there's plenty of stuff to do. This is purely a hardcore gamer problem, and even though I consider myself one, I still have reason to play the rest of the week.
