The "HQ as quest rewards" thing definitely rankles, and I still feel it was a bad idea. A player can do just fine with NQ gear; the dedicated, who are willing to go the extra mile to be the best, should be able to show that dedication by wearing the HQ gear that they worked hard to obtain. The HQ quest rewards threw that right out the window.

That said, outside of a brief period during Heavensward release (when pretty much EVERYONE was plowing through the quests with the HQ rewards and flooding the market with them), I've never had any trouble selling the HQ gear. Most people have two or three alt classes they play, and those folks will need gear. The quests, on the other hand, only provide enough gear for one or two classes. That leaves plenty of market for HQ gear.
