Simply not true. There were many ways to stand out. I can guarantee you that the majority of players were not kitted out in the same gear as those in the most dominant linkshells. Are you trying to tell me that items like Ridill and Kraken Club could be found in everyone's inventory?



So you would rather have everyone running around with the same gear, with no way to stand out, just so players are not forced to become better at the game? I'm sorry, but a skilled player should not be running around in the same gear as someone who can barely play the game. At least that's my view of things. It has nothing to do with wanting to stand on a pedestal, but rather it has everything to do with effort and skill yielding reward.
1.x is intended to be the content that will take us years to complete. It's going to be wiped out in about seven months and we'll all have items for sticking with SE that players just joining the game in 2.0 won't be able to get.

Then in 2.0, when they're free of the crippled server and unoptimized engine, they'll be able to put in real challenges like the Crystal Tower and such.
