If SE switched it so that there is a 24 hour limit and increased drop rate, people will come in here complaining about how they have to wait every time they don't get the gear they want.

If SE just made it overall easier to get the gear, then people will come out to say that ever char has the same 'epic' gear and individuality has diminished.

If SE did everything that everyone wanted, then everyone else will come out and say that they deserve the same.

In conclusion, you can't satisfy everyone.

As for me, I am just going to enjoy the idea of everyone on a server helping to complete an event together as a community. If I get some gear out of that, sweet. If I don't, I will eventually. No rush.
