Being able to solo nFG1 has nothing to do with gear and pots from group dungeons. That's doable with crafted gear and food+pots from the login rewards.
Not doing 1 nFG1 per day during this event is a choice. 'Toxic elitists' won't kick you, they won't even notice you because they finish this dungeon before they finish their rotation. And you can just take the tickets and the event box.
Okay, they there is no need for more difficult content because wearing elite gear is a choice. Right?
The 'choice' argument is a failed argument because it assumes that a player should play a certain way or deal with consequences while other players are not required to play a way that is not enjoyable to them. That's wrong. I won't argue it further.
It's not wrong. You want rewards? You play the content.
Or do you want to login and automatically get rewarded the dungeon event boxes, your event tickets, some materials you would have otherwise farmed and some PvP leaderboard rewards too while we're at it?
With dungeons you literally choose how difficult and/or time consuming it is. Nobody is forcing you to do a Lep Seclusa HM no death for your event rewards. You can literally queue up for nFG1 and be done with it in less than 5 minutes.
