Could not disagree more...The point of having people get gear and able to do higher content is have more options in the community...how does that make sense to anyone that a brand-new player should not experience the fun of getting gear simply because they just started? I have been here since the beginning, and I could not be happier at the changes they have made to getting gear. Even if a brand-new player gets gear in no way shape or form will they automatically be able to do Grim Stg 8 or above without some serious grinding on other gear not given, the skysteeler accy they give you and even the soul are amazing to get you to a medium level of power. Plus, if there are more people who can run F8 how is that a bad thing? For months people have been complaining of a dead F8, well not anymore because they helped people get geared and not suffer like most vets had to for the power we do have, it should definitely be looked at as a welcomed change even in terms of gearing your own alts at a decent pace because IT IS attainable like it never has before.
