Seems to me that a lot of people assume that if they throw in HNMs they'll be the only source of decent gear, or otherwise be the only source of endgame content. I'm not sure why though, clearly we're going to have the instanced content regardless of all else. Unlike other suggestions that have been made around these forums, HNM type content literally only had an impact on people in HNM shells. The rest of us did sky, sea, dynamis, and later einherjar, besieged, nyzul etc. all while the HNM crowd did their own thing.

Did that make some gear unobtainable? Yes. Did we complain about it? Well, I didn't but I'm sure someone did. As for me, I chose not to do the content and lived with being locked out of certain gear options because of my choice.
