There is nothing hard about farming for pretty things to wear whatsoever. Bland due to poor drop rates and pricing? You bet.
It doesn't necessarily have to be hard - it's merely done that way to encourage investment and give people a reason to stick around. There's only so much content that the developers can pump out with each new expansion/patch and so players find themselves having to work towards quite a few things.
Is it tedious? Arguably so - but it serves a purpose and I don't believe that the game would be as successful as it is currently if people could just get online and acquire everything within a few hours.
As for low drop rates? Again, that comes with the territory. As frustrating as it can be it also serves a purpose - encouraging people to tackle content over and over and therefore serve as an additional incentive and means of ensuring that there's a healthy flow of players going through new and old content alike.
Ultimately great looking gear - putting aside the subjective nature of what is 'great looking' - is a luxury rather than a necessity.
