Old raid stuff should never be same lvl as current raid stuff, but should be higher than non-raid stuff. Current raid stuff = raid lvl stuff old raid stuff = upgradable to current raid level stuff -1 current non-raid stuff =current raid level stuff -2 SO.... CE gear = 331 (weapons), 32 (equipment) VoG gear = 315/320 (weapons), 31 (equipment) non-raid gear= 310 (weapons), 30/31(equipment)..... 31 because i dont think new and returning players should be stuck in VoG for weeks of RNGjesus till they can set foot into CE. Also, with that idea, the upgrapding path should require a "current content" weapons/equipment to upgrade the old one. To upgrade a VoG weapon or gear, you would need a CE weapon/equipment. I dont think the upgrade system should expand into non-raid gear, it becomes too muc rehashing imo. You could upgrade raid gear and raid gear only, and the upgradable gear wont match the current raid level.... for obvious reasons. Now, in the next raid tier, i dont know if we should be able upgrade VoG gear again.....by then they should give some ways for us to start customizing our stuff (not deep customizing tho).
