Well whenever I get a piece, I consider to potentially be decent at some point, I store it.
Got all the ebon, netch or BSW accessories this way, without having to farm. Only by pledges and random dungeons.
Just don't put a hassle on yourself, 1 piece of gear won't make or break you.
And yes : no to "everything BOE"
ESO is already way less restrictive in terms of gear making it bound to your character, compared to other games, where everything is BOP-characterbound

well it's three to one now...so we win! Seriously? Let's assume we r a family. ZOS is the dad and I have three brothers. Me and two brothers want ice cream but one brother wants A pile of crap...a crap bag. ZOS says we have to eat A crap bag because one kid wants to. And we haven't had ice cream in forever. So your argument is essentially that if you and ZOS want Crap we all have to watch you two knuckleheads eat it and are force fed it..... Yum?

LOL...yeah there are definitely people on these forums who would rather you experience the misery they endured with aspects of this game instead of discussing ways to eliminate the misery. This game definitely needs some changes to its structure so that people can spend more time enjoying the content they like instead of mindlessly grinding for gear. And like you say OP, one big step in that direction is to make more gear BoE.
Let people enjoy the game on their own terms. If someone wants to farm mats for 100 hours and then turn around and use the profit from that to buy epic gear...well it doesn't affect my playstyle...so no reason for me to yell and scream that they have to acquire epic gear the same way I did.

Pay to win is when ZOS sells it. If you're a shady *** then I hope they catch you. And I don't care. Good for you. I will be over here doing it right but trust me you will get popped eventually and...even if you don't. I don't care what you're saying is because ZOS isn't smart enough to make a system that works it's my fault??? I don't care. Even if true then we will get it eventually for gold without you idiots pumping up the prices because it will go down

Why so mad? I've never done anything like that in this game but I'm telling you what many people are likely thinking.
Gold can easily be acquired and making the game predominantly BoE sends the game in a horrible direction.
A brighter idea is to push for better RNG for more desirable traits; not what you're suggesting. For now, just keep putting the effort in - or don't.

I already have nearly every Best in Slot Bind in Pickup set in the game, and I still agree with you.
The only people that will argue with you on this one are stingy/greedy people who already have their gear, and want it to be that much harder for everyone else.
All the farming I had to do... I wish that upon no-one.
Making dungeon gear BoE should increase the pool of players queuing for dungeons. People will farm the sets in high demand to get the cash. And it would reward players skillful enough to complete the hardest dungeons. As it stands now, there's no reason to go back in a dungeon once you get the items you want. In fact, I avoid them like the plague. Because by the time you've grinded out the set you want, the dungeon is worn out and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Can't you just make do with some random crafted gear?
Perhaps with some willpower/agility rings.
Seriously though we need jewerly crafting.
