See dub I always felt lucky the people i played with never really cared what gear i had as long as i did my job. My goal was get as good as i can to contribute more. However i never really got into those mmos and games where the elitist type of players harassed you. I know xi had its fair share and xiv will prolly but i am in agreement with ya its best to make the content as available as possible to all players. I do feel there should be some content in the game that is super tough.
