I have no idea how you expect people to do this twice a year. Either one of two things should happen here.
The first option is simple. Make the gains bigger. 10 to 15 jumps in power all the way up to max. Doing pinnacle ops hundreds of times is tedious and absolutely boring.
The second option is to kill the grind in 6 months. Let all the gear from the current year have all the bonuses and gear power with no reset until next expansion.
Gonna add divides video cause. It is relevant.

Edit: For those saying "you have 6 months." No we don't. The power resets in 6 months. So the longer I take to get to max power the more I will be punished for waiting. If I hit max a week before the reset I'm back to 0 and little t5s to show for it. THIS is the problem with the system itself. It actively punishes those who wait or play casually. If power sharing was enabled for loot. Then I could still raid and play the game super chill. I could just team up with players that want to grind everytime. But they hate that idea it seems.

Edited by Joulevette12: 7/24/2025 7:59:25 AMIDK why they didn't just allow powerful armor and weapons just drop outside of portal giving the players choices to play how they want because at the end of the day we are going to have to go into the portal to farm the new armor and weapons anyway but farming the way it is now to level up our armor just boring and going to cause players to burn themselves out playing the same activities over and over. Ik players want Tier 5 armor but at this rate I players would just be happy to get to Tier 3-4 loot and IMO I think once you over the threshold to get 2-4 tier armor and weapons the previous tier items should not be dropped at all period.
