You know guys, he isn't wrong. Sure, the end game grind is in every MMO but the game didn't change much. Hunts, FATES, tomes, raids....I mean. Look if you give one way for people to get gear you are asking for trouble. I don't want to be the one to say this but it should be said, end game gear that is the most powerful is Raids(most of the time). The gear to get into those raids shouldn't be only through one avenue. Take, and I hate to say this, WoW for example. In WoD, you could craft gear, get it through the shit crystals(this was the worst way), do heroics(630 which was 10 below the 640 from crafting unless you upgraded the crafted gear), or garrison. So, I mean it doesn't have to be 100000+ ways but it doesn't have to be a repetitive grind either. I think it is a little unfair to force use into only one way.

This isn't a WoW is amazing thing. This is just pointing out that you could give options. Options hurt no one, it helps everyone.
