Equal gear in a horizontal, "catch-up" patch? Understandable.

Better gear, based on RNG, replacing everything that raiders have worked for (besides weapon, but that will be gone soon too, with the new relic)? Completely infuriating.

As a raider, I'm content to see non-raiders have their catch-up patch... But after countless hours spent beating raids for my own BiS gear--to have it completely replaced by RNG-nonsense is infuriating.

Any old LOTRO players around? Remember the BiS gold Horse Lords jewellery from landscape mobs? That was the beginning of the end there, and--when the end came--my raid team came together to FFXIV. We've seen when devs don't listen to their player base--I sincerely hope SE takes note of the many complaints (including many deleted forum posts!) and takes heed. Many upset people right now...
