Complaining about "easy gear" when cash shop is a thing where you don't need to play the game at all. Atleast by doing normal mode these people actually engage content. And TERA never really had any "hard content" beside of P2P Content, Manayas Core and SCHM (and even here you could drop dat stuff via GG) and to some extend Bahaar.
People always cheesed through content.
SCHM ? Buy Timeworn stuff from Broker or use PvP +15 Gear (was there even full discovery gear +12 group who killed darkan pre nerf ?)
FIHM ? People stockpiled Sea Chest for Hearts
TSHM ? same
SSHM ? same
RK9EM ? trade chest and Worldboss says hello
