Does it matter if its worth it or not? With 24k AD daily limit to get the GMoPs needed for BiS gear will take YEARS. Its just basic math. On top of that, patches make your gear obsolete every 6 to 12 months so the game is simply no longer playable.
Even if you wanted to play hardcore and hit the 24k cap on multiple characters, you are limited to 24 hours in a day of which you will need some for sleep/work/food/pee breaks. Best case scenario you can cut a 7 year grind down to 2 years if you shell out $7k for item mall RP. There is no way to catch up to end game players left. None.
The game is not all about BiS. Put PvP gear put everyone in the same gear for PvP and you problem goes bye bye. Then the "why did you nerf my gear only I can be the beast at PvP" cry fest starts.
