I'd be more than up for farming it to ring stage, the more loot we have the better the progression attempts will be, thus the more content we'll be able to work our way through. I want to see all the content, so from my point of view, it's a good idea.
I know The Haven has always had the principle of "doing things properly"; but when it just leads to pointless wiping when a bit of grinding could be more beneficial, I don't see the point in "doing it properly". Yes I'm a gear hungry whore, but it is a game, and I play any game to win it, because that's how I get my fun. All games are based around competition, and improvement to better oneself in future competitions - all I'm doing is following that core principle to the letter.
P.S. If you can arrange to have T10 epics sent to my mailbox, I'd gladly accept
