There isn't though unless you're comparing new gear to old gear which makes no sense. Would it be better if quest armour was able to be obtained by everyone and clans couldn't create monopolies on servers? Ya probably but that's not how it is and would require quite a bit of changing. So like I mentioned unless OTM wants to lose half their player base and have no money to make updates and make the game better then they have to create an alternative to quest armour that's actually good so that players who aren't in eg clans or prefer solo play are able to do that. If there was no shop armour then everyone outside of (top) clans would no longer be able to level because the mobs would be significantly better than their gear.There shouldn't be a level playing field between shop gear and quest gear.... OTM would lose half their player base because then players who aren't a part of an end game clan would NEVER be able to progress in the game. It makes ZERO sense. The shop armour isn't better than EDL and it's barely better than DL, if you have 1m to get a marginal upgrade then knock yourself out but it helps level the playing field between players.
Quest armour is still the best
Shop armour gives a decent alternative to help more casual players
No reason to complain...
