We already hated the +10 Pinnacle Gear Grind pre-EoF, so why would you think that we will enjoy that but 100x worse?
It is so simple: Tiered Gear should be behind fixed difficulties and not behind a grind that takes hundreds of hours. With the current system there is no point to use T5 Gear anyway.
If we had fixed difficulties that we could customize even further to increase loot and even attune which weapons we want then there would be a reason to min-max.
The way it is now completely missed the mark and it is time you give up on the PL grind.

I wasn't a fan of the Pinnacle grind, but it did get me to play more activities. +10 wasn't so bad but +50 was much worse, now it's +350 which is absolutely insane to think most players would want this. If it was +100 that is much more reasonable but still too much in my opinion for the casual gamer(only a few hours each week). Personally I was ecstatic when they reduced and finally removed them, one of the few good things to come out of Lightfall, I believe was Season of the Deep? Even if it was designed to keep players on the grindwheel, it isn't working because players are dropping the game faster than ever before.
