I ask the question because I see it as a barrier to returning players. I know that with Storm Legion we will all be back on equal footing with regards to gearing up. In my opinion, Rift has the best raids available in any MMO. Friends and myself left Rift for other games and then looked at coming back when we didn't feel the excitement we had in raiding GSB, RoS, and starter HK. What stopped us from coming back was the many hours before us of dailies and rifts to gather the parts for our water resist, and then fire for ID. The facts for us is that we love raiding, running 5 man normal and heroics, but do not like the grind of daily quests, we like raids and Instances.
If the resistances are required, I would love to see the gear that drops from the raid instance have the desired resist stats on them in some incriment which would grow as the raiders progress through, gathering more gear. The further raid teams progress, the better their overall stats would be. This would allow returning players to jump right back where they left off, without forcing them to grind.
