Wouldn't it be possible to at least reward the first 3 places in PQs with "parts" of Ruin gear so we can one day achieve the items whilst we're unlucky?
This sums up alot of peoples issues with farming or grinding. Most of the time, it's all or nothing. Feeling like your wasting your time sucks, when you are supposedly playing for fun and enjoyment.
I personally believe that the farm for Ruin gear currently is excessive. How much of this is due to most of the PQs not working however? Most of the playerbase's favorite farming spots don't work atm. There are easier PQs to farm than those open, and some that are far more profitable to run concurrently. But, at the end of the day, full Ruin is still far easier to obtain than any Dark Promise will.
When you are farming for something, you need to know whether the return is worth the investment. Sometimes that 1% or less drop is totally worth the 100+ mobs you're going to have to kill. Sometimes it isn't. But like EVERYTHING in an MMO, if you do it with a group it is A, far easier, and B, much less tedious(depending on group...)
