Frankly, the game has become a boring grind with the current gear progression. Since I remained in the alliance I've been in since I started over two years ago instead of joining one doing top end raids, I have minimal access to the lastest tier of gear. So I'm in the positon of having completed all content I have access to and having to wait on the rest of my alliance to catch-up...unless of course I abandon them. It's a frustrating conundrum of poor design in my opinion.
