We know there are content in this game that is locked exclusively to different platforms like the PvP and Raid. Perhaps it is time to reverse this and set the focus towards having every locked gear / weapon etc. be available to unlock / found in PvE or purchased through Maria's Shop in game.

I have been against the current way the developers had planned this. Content should not be locked this way.

This is a horrible design choice and should not just be considered to be dealt with; it needs to be dealt with and reversed.

- The content you have unlocked is linked to the savefile, not the account. What happends if the savefile becomes corrupt? All that is lost and the player is forced to be re - forced into playing PvP to complete challenges or grind through Raid in order to gain that equipment again. The biggest factor lies with Raid where you are NOT guaranteed you get what you want as the rewards are random and the players report they get rewards they already have unlocked also.
Looking at this in a perspective to start a new game, you are immediately discouraged as you know the weapon / gear you'd like require you to undergo the endless, hard and frustrating work once more.
