What is the point of having BiS

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

What is the point of this thread? I'm not really being facetious, I need to understand what the question really is. BiS is there to help you clear fights faster, and is mostly needed now for ultimates. It has no other purpose, nor has it ever had any other purpose. Fights in this game, outside of ultimates, are designed to be cleared with crafted gear available at the start of the tier. This is in part because when Gordias came out and was overtuned to where that was not accomplishable by more than a fraction of the playerbase, the raid scene was almost destroyed. We are too accustomed to not needed to clear previous fights for extensive periods to get gear to clear later fights. This is just how raiding is designed.

This is all I wanted to know. All this time I was raiding with the purpose of getting BiS, and now that I have it, I don't find any purpose other than start doing ultimates. I just needed to reafirm myself if that's all that's left to do.
