Hahah wait.. are you serious?

You're new to MMOs it seems. Also, you don't HAVE to cap anything, the game doesn't demand it, it's a CHOICE you make to do it.

Actually, it sounds like YOU are new to MMOs - or have only played FFXI and FFXIV. Probably the latter.

Dungeon bosses dropping the best gear in the game is common across ALL MMOs. You use "tokens" (like tombstones) to buy the subpar items. But bosses? They should drop 3-4 pieces of the best gear in the game each time you kill them. In most MMOs (that you seem to have not played) you're limited to killing these bosses once per week.

This current system just says to me: "We plan to give you new end-game once per year, so enjoy grinding your ass off for that year" - it's basically one of FFXI's many grindy systems in disguise.
