I did read the thread. What I saw is some gear is more scarce than others. It makes sense. If all gear was equally scarce even amongst tiers than why even have different gear. Sorry to be buzz killington here but you can't have everything all at once.

I dont think you read it cuz what you are describing (all gear equally scarce and everyone gets everything at once) is not even remotely what is being described or asked for. Again, the gear crunch was acceptable where it is before because the cap was 60 and there wasn't the variety of game modes or need for the variety of roster that there is now. Nobody is asking (or few are anyhow) for all the gear to be just given out. What most are asking for is additional ways to work for the gear. Perhaps this is where your understanding of the suggested solutions breaks down, people are asking for extra ways to farm the gear. They want to earn it, they just want to be able to earn it in more ways.

Also with the squad you listed above you will be able to contribute 1 time to the HAAT raid. Meaning you wont have any meaningful way of contributing to any phase beyond phase 3 where you are using your palp/zader. Which tells me you are being carried by your guild if they are finishing the raid. Not everyone is willing to accept that.
