    The correct answer is that no one would have an incentive to do content ... if the whole loot tables for monster helms were available for sale all at once.
    I don't buy this at all.

    As it stands now, there are tons of builds you simply can't take into some content because of optimization issues.

    I'm thinking people would be more keen to DO content for the sake of ENJOYMENT as opposed to HAVING to do content because they need a piece of gear (that they may never get) in order to be able to do ANOTHER piece of content.

    Optimization only applies to end game content ... which is 10% of the game at the most?

    If you're aiming for that type of content, then it's reasonable to expect more difficult hurdles and goals to reach an optimized build.

    Regardless if you buy in to my argument or not, ZOS isn't going to bypass content for immediate gratification.

    They won't do this; a weekly limited RNG loot table is one of the mechanics they use to encourage PvP'ers to keep playing a stale mode ZoS won't update: the hope that even if Cyrodiil isn't going to be improved, at least their bank of gold might.

    Might more people play PVP if they had a guaranteed (albeit costly) way to gold out a build that they could use across all content?

    Good point but the opposite in fact: soon as they “guarantee” drops people will bounce and never come back to play ever again. Travel to imperial city if further evidence is required.
