The grindey may be a lot of us doing it wrong though. We probably didn't really need the guild crafting buildings. And now that I'm doing black zone dungeons in tier 4 gear and successfully soloing them for about 3x what I was getting in the blue, I realize I probably could have started that a long time ago too and probably don't even need or want tier 6 gear.
It's like we've been grinding for T2 Battleships in EVE and all we really needed were Kestrels.
A full set of T4 gear + a T3 riding mount is probably about 15k silver. Which you can easily make solo in one black zone dungeon run (I want to say I made quite a bit more than that).
Granted a guy in T8 gear will waste you but if you go out with a group I think group dynamics will matter more (and if you kill him, 1 single piece of his T8 gear will buy you about 5 new complete sets of T4 gear). We've basically been playing Everquest PvE so far. The PvP zone is right there! Time to saddle up and take some risks!
But like most MMORPGs, 1v1 is not the way to go. Classes are not balanced for 1v1 combat and you'll just be the scissors to someone else's rock. The hard part of this game may just be that it's not convenient to get groups together and you need groups.
