I dunno. I mean, maybe sure. I think it would be cool if you had to earn the new raid stuff, first. Otherwise, [i]what's the point of playing for and upgrading the new raid stuff [/i]when you can already be rocking equivalent value/power gear? I say give the new stuff their day in the sun, first. The year would be upgradeable to last Raids #. So, the VoG gear becomes upgradeable to 331 when HoW goes live, and CE stuff upgradeable to 362 (or whatever) after Comet, whose raid gear would be 393 (or whatever)
