For me it's more about enjoyment of the items. This is pretty much the only game I play and I am heavily invested in it and have invested alot of time to it. I am also very big on community stuff as alot of people are this game just isn't about grinding to the end for me. I enjoy things like LS events and group stuff which include pictures or anything like that. It just really bothers me that sometimes because of missing gear I cannot participate in such things and because of a reason that was out of my hands at the time.

I've stuck through the worst of times with this game, gladly pay and enjoy the game, Legacy memebr and all that like many others and for me the lack of these items is a big loss of enjoyment for me. I dunno I would not ask to just be given them but I would have no problem earning them in some way. Hell I'd take the missing gear over the exclusive Legacy mount in 2.0 at this point.I know alot of people won't see it that way and give the old too bad speech but I guess it's fine if you have it atleast.
