This game is far to difficult.

Well maybe not no loot but lower item level versions of the gear.

It will never cease to amaze me how this exact problem has already been addressed in other games, in exactly this way, YEARS ago, and yet SE insists on going through the growing pains as if this is the very first time such issues have ever come up.

Tiered raiding systems that have content for hard core and casual with different tier levels of reward is the answer. It's a good answer, too. Give better gear and special titles to those who do hard core content, while building a bridge into that content for casuals to play and even those hard core players to supplement their gearing up. It's win win for everyone.
