I'm sorry, wasn't a big complaint about vanilla that each expansion was short on content/stuff to do? Now we have a plethora of quests, weapons, and other secrets to hunt for, but because it takes an investment of time it is deemed "grindy"? You seem to be someone who has never played a traditional MMO before. Old gear is always phased out in order to make way for the new loot. The reforge system was nice but it took away the flavor of certain weapons if all we did was reroll them to perfection. With infusion I can find a weapon that suits me and instead of having to discard it for a higher damage but less desirable weapon I can just turn it into fuel for me favorite one. Marks, motes, and coins all roll out at a reasonable pace and I get them for doing stuff I want to do. Feel how you want, but personally I think your gripes are more targeted towards the fact that you might actually have to try now.
