I've been looking at this game the same way I'd look at world of warcraft. I don't personally play but i know people that do. Every expansion they get rid of the gear they have. Top tier gear essentially becomes a trophy. I'm ok with that. I'd like to move forward have my fun with what's important at the time and when is time to move forward I'll do just that. It sucks people that recently got their high tier gear aren't going to keep it for long but the trophy idea still stands.
