I just don't understand why people care so much about others getting the chance to upgrade their gear outside of coil. I myself hunt occasionally when i'm not doing EX primals or coils, and i'm happy that it provides an alternative way to get my item lvl up especially when I haven't been that lucky with the primal/coil drops.

It's not like SE is taking everyones achievements away with these rewards. You cleared SCoB several times and got some nice gear? Well good for you. Let others do what they want and gear up alternative ways for whatever reasons they are doing it.
