And why does a casual player need that gear if they cant be bothered to earn it from the content thats available, you only need the gear if your pushing for the harder content anyway so if your ignoring that content then a gear upgrade is pointless.
The vaults are not handouts they are at least earnt from some effort into the game, there is no effort into just doing casual content and then just being given 226 items for no effort at all.
High level gear should be much rarer than it currently is, its far too easy to gear up currently and then you get players wanting to be rewarded with high level items without doing the content.
Gear doesnt help that player if they are not doing content to make themselves better, pushing yourself into difficult content is actually what helps a player improve thier skills.
