Progression raiding is what I seek,however, when you have a system that doesn't reward you for your troubles, whereas you can just spam the VET FPs, its extraordinarily hard to attempt to find or start a group for the content. As well as the drive, I love progression raiding but I also enjoy being rewarded with items other players won't have available to them because they don't raid.

What is the point of hardmode OPs? Or anything passed VET FPs? You can accomplish BIS gear by grinding VET for tech frags. Why would you not have anything worth while to be gained clearing the hardest content in the game? Correct me if any of this is wrong, but what i've been told is the best gear for you is the tech frag gear and you don't get anything special from the hardest difficulty OP. Why have it in the game then? How else are you supposed to get 8+ people dedicated enough to spend hours wiping and progressing if not for the better gear that generally looks much better than the casual gear you get from farming easy instances... This seems to be a really odd model to shape your game off of. How are you supposed to hold someones attention longer than a week when thats all the time you need to get completely BIS across the board?
