An element of a MMORPG is to make it such that there is something for a player to aspire to attain. This is definitely not it. In the current iteration, I may never be able to obtain that chest piece even by the day the game closes down.

There are some in the community who are really vocal about changes to mechanics and others getting loot. The question then is

1. "how does it affect you as a person if newer players or players still on older content experience content that is different from you be it in terms of difficulty or mechanics?"

2. These players are not obtaining BIS gear, they're getting older/outdated gear along their progression in the game and story.
