Yes, I played a long time without them. But, now that they're here and most likely unavailable to me...
Also, I chose CoH/V as my second MMORPG to play because it didn't have the need to farm/grind for "loot". It was my casual, time-limited MMORPG. Seems like that will no longer be the case.

Clear your mind... realize there is no wings. There is only your perception of wings.
Seriously, I feel somewhat the same way, but I just don't worry with it. They're strictly cosmetic. If they appear (you randomly get the drops needed) -- great, your character will look more like your desired mental image. If they don't, it's all right. Heck, one of my characters is "supposed to have" a motorcycle.
If you do not make it a goal to strive for the loot, then you don't get that feel of a grind.
Now excuse me, I have to go check my Recipe window. Again.

I played 2.5 years for my demon wings. For all I know I might be playing 3.5 years for my tech wings.
It'll give me something to look forward to if it takes me a year.
It'll give me something to show off if I get them the day I9 goes live.
Either way I'm not really seeing the downside of this as much as others I suppose...

Well, I'm just frustrated by the whole attitude of "I waited since beta until getting my Angel/Demon wings" to complete my concept and I got them just for playing....
However, even through you've been playing and waiting as long as me, you should have to jump through hoops and hope and pray in order to complete your concept."
The main thing that drew me to this game and keeps me playing it is the customization of characters.
Right now, I'm just annoyed and frustrated by the whole thing. It doesn't give me incentive to play and hope I find what I need. It really doesn't. It makes me think, "why even bother playing if the odds of finding what I need are so slim and I don't have a chance of buying them, either..."
