I really struggle to even understand the point of the loot treadmill in a stagnant MMO. If you can kill VP mobs you can get gear to... kill VP mobs?

Epic mobs I get - everyone wants their cool pixel-epic. But just, well-statted gear? What for? What do you want to do with it? Raid more VP? You can already raid VP... Sweet items that let you... farm items for alts? Just make an alt!

In actual progression MMOs you raid to be ready for the next tier. There is no new tier here. You're doing it just to do it. How someone can sit down for 4+ years killing the same 32k dragons just.. it's mind-boggling. And the rules and the heartache and the gnashing of teeth, please folks, take a good look at yourself and ask, why am I a pumpkin?

This.
