My question is: Is this a normal drop rate for these rewards and if so would not a barter system make more sense? If this is not a normal drop rate, can someone please check on this as I feel I am grinding for no apparent reason.
No new raids in 2014 so keeping us interested in endgame content with more grinding, only 2 Gold items per character to date, perhaps when they add more Gold items, higher chance of Gold drops?

Endgame grind and/or level alts, MMO way of life, though no new raids for over a year means same old content, if gear upgrades are a primary motivator the experience may be less than enjoyable, enjoy your journey.
