Your "I happen to be in one of the 4-5 guilds that have completed vMoL" comment brings you into that elitist group. Which is cool because I get it. VMoL is tough. Only one group has beaten VMoL on PS4 NA and that just happened Tuesday night (or wednesday morning depending on where you live). I have mad respect for those that can beat vMoL. But they get that bad ass skin for doing so. I didn't get to see what my guildies drop was when he opened his chest, but don't you think it would be helpful to trade that loot to the other guys who got a useless set for their build? Literally only 12 people on PS4 NA have gotten that last chest. That sure isn't going to cause the market to get flooded with Alkosh rings as they will most likely keep them for their own builds. And boy if they did want to sell those they would make millions off those.
I would even be okay with a compromise of sorts where gear can be BoP while it's the new DLC, but when the next DLC drops switch it to BoE. This allows the elitists like you time to have those nifty new sets, but also gives the community that would rather spend their hours doing something else other than wiping on Rakkat to figure out the synergy phase a chance to get something. Or running WGT 100 times day to get 1 piece of useable gear.
Can you not even at least see the other side of the coin? Or are you just going to be continually close minded to the argument?
P.S. If you haven't beaten VMoL how can you dare call WGT hard content to run. My first ever attempt we finished it on hard mode in about 35 mins. It's just as farmy as gathering flowers, only a little less monotonous.
The easiest and most fair resolution to this problem is a token system that allows for unbinding.
It's been used in countless F2P MMO's and that is probably why it won't be used here because they have this stigma around using tried and true gold/cash sinks for some reason.
They want to present themselves as a AAA buy to play MMO, not a f2p grind fest
Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.
