[dev1072]Gear-based systems are bad

[Kraggy]

A very bad example of how to handle gear stats and such is RIFT's tiered system. From what I understand, (I had a few RL friends who played, but did not play myself) You needed a full set of tier one gear to even hope to survive a tier 2 dungeon

They're idiots, you can enter T2 perfectly viably with crafted gear and never having run a single T1. T3 can be done in T1, though some T2 is obviously useful.

I've done T2 as a noob 50 on one class, and while I haven't done T3 non-T2 decked-out guildies certainly have.
