It would defeat the purpose of adding a grind if everyone could already get it. So either a large number of stone of impatience or something else entirely.
I disagree, we have enough of a "grind" here already. This is something everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy. Being able to "Transmog" your weapon graphics shouldn't be another stupid long grind. It should be a fun feature that you can adjust here and there.
You still have plenty of grinding to do yourself until that Earring is rank 50. Just finish that up, and start on T10 before you think you need "another grind".
I don't mean to sound like an a$$, but between Ring, Earring, XP Mask, UW's, and T10 faction, there is PLENTY already to grind out. Just asking for some variety in weapon graphics for stuff we already spent a lot of time earning.
