I feel you on this. The only reason to force us to move on is because it increases the grind. Mmos do this because its how a skinner box works. Its like being hocked on crack always chasing that sweet loot drop high. Why chase the dragon if you already have him locked away in your vault. Instead of adding to the game more weapons and armor to an already great assortment of gear they must replace the gear. Otherwise you would play the game and beat all the content and be happy and move on to a new game. They obviously don't what that to happen.
