Do we need currency to buy M+ gear?

Copy and pasting a comment I left on a thread about a currency system literally an hour ago because the search function is so hard for some people apparently

Currency systems suck. No excitement in gear, just a mathematical calculation of “3 more weeks and I can go to a vendor and buy an item!”. Currency-driven MMOs are dreary calendar simulators.

At most it should be a mix - perhaps jewelry slots are a compromise.
