Just a thought, but what if they increased the level requirement or added a "normal" 30 and "hard" 32 VoG so the 2.0 VoG weapons and armor would drop? With the new vendor gear, it's rather easy for newer players to reach level 30, so I don't think increasing the level would do too much. Or if that's not wanted, simply adding in a "normal" level 30 VoG and a "hard" level 32 VoG on top of the originals could work as well (there would be the "problem" of the earlier VoG gear potentially making it easy though).
