There's always tome gears for the people who don't like the rng.

I myself really don't like the tome gear, I think it's stupid that you do an easy easy dungeon once a day to get the "best" gear in the game.
So I'd rather grind raids or dungeons to get gear drops. It feels so much better finally getting that chest piece Ive been going for the last 2 weeks, than "okay enough tokens to buy another meaningless stat upgrade"
