Uh.. the reason you should be gearing is because you enjoy it and like to be in the top tier of people for that time. Its bragging rights. I got touch of malice today, I'm ecstatic. I know it wont be around forever, and accept it.
If you ever played an active MMO (WoW, GW2) you'd know its not about the end of the road but the travel you have made to get there. It sucks that gear gets out-dated, but it's exciting that it is once again time to dust off that old, tiring gear and start throwing on some new and improved gear to take down the next threat to society.
Just my two cents here

It's just an illusion! Reminds me of that old disco song...
-
Except that in GW2 which is a horizontal progression game, your gear never becomes obsolete.
-
Except this is a "shared-world-shooter," not an MMO :P I'm sorry, but its depressing. Its dumb how useless year one raid gear now is.
-
Depressing sure. My beef is with the fact that year 2 stuff is the same as year 1 in terms of dealing with vanilla content. The fact that everything is based off impact and character stats is annoying as, while I don't expect to one shot everything, I do wish it were more useful than being able to take a 29 damage sniper of the same impact as my raid one and clear things just as fast

That would work too.

That is an amazing response and i agree, good job
