If you're not too lazy or stupid to get the right gear, (or if you have the skill such that you don't need it) this has made the game revolve around dancing, and nothing else.
Again, most people don't do what you did and max out every single crafting class before hitting 50 on a combat class. Quit whining that you outgear content when you went several hours out of your way to gear yourself up before you could even use the gear. . .
