In a recent thread it has come up that due to the CREDD system and the recent change to DS trash drops one can buy some of the best equipment in the game directly for cash. There had been some call to see if this may have been an oversight, and I thought I might as well do it justice by asking as much.
 
The weapons in particular seem quite egregious, as such an impossibly tiny fraction of players are able to obtain anything better. Furthermore, the EG weapons were removed from the vendor some time ago, indicating that CRB had thought such equipment should not be obtained via vendor. Instead of even being limited to the non-CREDD Elder Gems, these i74 DS weapons are able to be bought with $. 
 
While possibly irrelevant or tangential, does CRB plan to address the issue of end game weapon attainment in general? I know a disturbing number of raiders who bemoan the fact that despite being quite well DS geared, their weapons are still below Ohmna's, and many have more or less decided that the 5 hrs per GA clear (or even hopping in later for Ohmna) is not worth the small chance at a weapon drop.
 
This lack of weapons is a pretty big issue, and for at least myself, this cash selling of weapons even better than those from Ohmna is like pouring gasoline in the wound.

Bottom tier ds gear available many many months after release does not p2w make. 
 
As an aside, weapons are not unreasonably rare in DS.

We might as well include boe GA gear as well by the same reasoning *rolls eyes*
 
Only thing we have yet to see from ohmna are any kind of pistols, beyond that, most already have theirs (in my raid group at least).

Hey folks, since this is pretty much a duplicate discussion from this post over here on general, I'm going to lock it. Please keep the conversation to just one place, there's no need to make multiple posts discussing the same thing that's already in an active thread. 
 
Thank you.
