I like how things are, they shouldnt change a thing when it comes to sets.
The irony. Everyone can do that so I think you're the one that needs to "git good" for relying on broken sets.
I never understand this either. Unless he's joking.
Instant killing someone with multiple armor procs? "Pure skill bruh!"

And no, "I pay money" is not a reason to persist on imbalance". The point of every mmo / pvp game is to have balance. You literally don't understand the issues with this game but feel the need to take some sort of position anyways. Which in this case is hating on more invested / hardcore players players because they probably want to make the game unplayable and can't possibly know whats good with all their knowledge and experience. Why not make some meaningful posts instead trying to shut people up with incorrectly used quotes?
1. You are loud.
2. I've never used the 'pay money' argument.
3. Sorry you had a sense of humour failure
4. On reflection, I think the quote wasn't just correctly used, it was perfectly timed.

What are you talking about? I have advanced a lot. There was a time when I wasn't geared and didn't have the CP for more difficult Vet dungeons, vDSA, or vet trials. Some of the best PvP gear isn't even ideal for PvE. You don't make any sense or even know what you are talking about.

Ok, my response was pretty trollish, but the myopia evident in what you asked is the great stinking sludge flow right through the middle of this entire thread.
Your premise is laughable to me. You don't seem able to understand there is a huge portion of the player base that neither likes nor give a slim shadow of a crap about PVP. I see it as a never-ending hamster wheel of this keep, that keep, over the bridge back and forth fighting the same batch of people over and over and over for the same patch of virtual dirt with occasional trips on the horsie simulator when you screw up or get zerged down. I'm well and truly glad you enjoy it. It doesn't interest me for more than an hour or so. I suspect some variation of that is exactly how you feel about PVE. Your question presupposes that the only legit game-play is PVP, all else is pointless.
I understand how you feel, your question demonstrates that the understanding only goes one way.
Some people want gear to improve their character to complete harder content, some people just enjoy the search, some have OCD and have to have best in slot even if the end result is making everything a cakewalk. Some just enjoy running dungeons and trials with their friends and gear collection is something to do, some are striving for places on the leader-boards and every improvement brings them closer to their goal. So there are a few very obvious answers to the question.
Sorry dude, I am a guy who has done every single vet trial, already got the new dungeon achievements, etc and confirm you that none of the new burst sets are worth it for PvE.
How about we just remove all sets from Cyrodiil? Fight with plain armor?

PVP players will not be happy until there is one single class, one single armour and weapon set, and one bar with a single pre-ordained set of abilities. They will probably demand that the game has GCD so that no one can get an advantage by being able to spam Caltrops and Vigor a femtosecond quicker than someone else. They will then proudly proclaim that the game has balance, conveniently forgetting that the numbers in each zerg have far more effect on balance than their precious sets.

You do realize that this is exactly what you are promoting, right? Only few viable choices due to broken and poorly tested armor sets / skills. They are used because they are the best. That is exactly what creates "only one playstyle / armor / weapon set". What we want is more variety with reasonable balance. The exact opposite of what you try to strawman. But of course understanding that would require you to actually listen and care about anyone other than you.

I can only give you my reasons.
Why I don't do PvP: I greatly dislike PvP. It's simply not my thing. It makes me nervous and aggressive. It doesn't bring me any kind of satisfaction, joy, or fun. I'm not sayings it's "bleh", just that I'm not interested in it. I'm not the kind of player for it.
Why I grind for gear: I like PvE play style. It keeps me concentrated, peaceful, and yet slightly absent from the present. Getting that specific gear after a long and hard Boss fight gives me a sense of accomplishment, like when I manage not to burn my sunny side up eggs. It means I made it through and this is my reward. And it's a lot of fun learning boss mechanics, it's joyfully frustrating. I like having a rotation I can rely on and boss mechanics I can learn to predict and adapt to. And having new toys with which to take that same boss down again. I suppose, it's the randomness in PvP that I can't seem to handle. And that's fine.
TL;DR: a sense of advancement in one's skill as a player.

Well at least someone likes the "kill with no skill" meta
Very convincing coming from the guy that uses those sets and desperately wants to keep them the way they are.

You admit they're broken yet you're perfectly fine with dismissing any sort of logic because you don't care about it / you're the one abusing it. Again, "fun" doesn't hold up as argumentation. Basically you said nothing at all with all those lines. How do you even translate "easy" to "fun"? We're not taking them away, we want proper balancing. If fun means to cheat then there are singleplayer games for that. Seriously.

Your assuming "an awful alot"
Fact is:
1. I haven't stepped foot in Cyrodiil since One Tam came out because magicka builds of all sorts except Templar tanks specs are absolute rubbish. Why would i want to play my Magic Sorc in a meta where im inhenrently disadvantaged to the point of playing with 1 hand tied behind my back compared to our stamina Overlords?
2. Magicka Proc sets, Like Valkyn Skoria, Illambris, etc have very small percentage chances(8%, 10%, etc and cooldowns associated with them) why do they need to be nerfed? Magicka doesn't have any 50% chances like Stam has with Tremorscale or 20% chances like Velidreth or even 100% chances to proc when you use a poison(Hello Widowmaker) The only unbalanced proc sets in the game are all stamina based...all the magicka based ones have low % and have narrow requirements to work. Blanket nerfing all the proc sets just because 2-3 stam sets are grossly OP is like killing a Fly with a bomb.
3. I said an awful lot with those lines....the nerfs this game has endured to classes and sets the last two years have been nothing short of atrocious and sucking the fun right out of the game. Templar's used to have this really cool skill called Blind Flashes and combined with being a Vampire if gave you "a chance" of killing the folks trying to Zerg you. Streak not having an AOE cap and building ultimate with dynamic ult regen allowed an outnumbered Sorc to spam Negates against the zerglings trying to kill him 10v1. I still had to be more skilled to win in those cases and even with that it was 50/50 but you already had a chance. Nerfing anything just favors Zergs. Magic Det is the best example it's utterly useless now because it won't do enough damage you have to hit like 10 people with it before it's even remotely useful then the AOE cap halves it after 6 targets making it completely useless. Just keep nerfing the game will soon be 100% full on Zerg. The only stray will be potato on 1 guy with 20.
Point is there had to be some balance here only 3 of these sets are too good and adjusting them is fine but blanket nerfing all of them is throwing the baby out with the bath water, might as well swat that fly with a sledgehammer
