И, не уподобляясь трионам, не начислять дкп за отсиженные жопочасы.

Да дкп за фейлы вообще начислять не надо, только за киллочасы))

Прокачка репы в рифте была с самого начала (ради рун и еды)
Фарм экспертов ради рейдовых марок был в рифте с патча 1.1
Фарм ПвП был в Рифте с самого начала, ради гира за 6й ранг, который можно было получить легче, чем рейдовый и который в разы облегчал освоение рейдов.
Так же был еще фарм сушек с резистрами (для того же ХК)
Был фарм ресов на фласки, банки, намазки и тд (его сейчас убрали благодаря миньонам)
Правда виклик на рейдовые марки был всего один.
В рифте всегда было очень много фарма, как и в любой ПвЕ игре.

Ну выбей мне две гритерки на дпс

изначально пвп было отдельно и все было ок, затем они на кой-то черт смешали пвп/пве шмот

Насколько я помню времена Рифта периода 2011 года (а помню я, несмотря на старческий маразм, довольно хорошо ), такого анального рабства, как сейчас, не было ни в какой степени приближения.
Репа прокачивалась сама собой на тех же рифтах, которые тогда были гораздо более существенной частью игрового процесса, нежели сейчас.
Сушки на резисты свободно собирались даже без фарма, да и по сути нужен был лишь один дополнительный фокус - на тот же ХК, и все.
Фарм марок был, да, но цены на шмот были существенно справедливее тех, что сейчас. Желающим могу показать накрабленный за пару-тройку месяцев голдовый ванильный ХК сет из банка. Как вернулся в игру, так рука не поднялась его разламывать или продавать .
Ранг пвп. Из всей гильдии, где я тогда был, кап был едва ли у трети состава. ХК совершенно замечательно осваивался и в актуальном тогда Т1 гире.

Если ты участвовал в гонке на ферст киллы, то пвп сеты были мастхев.
