I have to ask how 99 R/M/E can be considered “Content that was created a decade ago”. It is true Dynamis, as an example, has been out for many years, however; we’re not talking about level 75 Relic, Mythic, or Empyrean. We’re talking about the level 99 R/M/E; the ones that were very new and relevant. It was well after level cap increases that they became available, and even after that, the weapons were able to be obtained but it wasn’t like SoA where it was done in a week or two. If a player took 9-12 months to create one of these weapons, that doesn’t make it old content. That’s how the challenge was geared to be - a time consuming challenge, Relic and Empyrean. I don’t even need to get into the time it takes to make a Mythic.

It was really exciting that after raising the level cap these once ultimate weapons, the 75 versions, had become junk, then Development stepped up and decided lets keep them; lets allow them to be upgraded to 99. What through a lot of us off and got us irritated is having those new ultimate weapons to go for and then put in months of farming and grinding to have any one of these amazing “new” ultimate weapons, to then have them toss out an expansion, making them obsolete and bested with only a two week effort of playing. We’re not talking just slightly bested; we’re talking monstrously better stats.

I still have to say, if a person can’t see how that’s unfair to the people that have earned and invested the time and effort into making a 99 R/M/E, which was “current” content, they did not earn one. If they had, they’d look back at the many months and hours they put into make it and think, “Wow, I spent months into making this and people are getting weapons, better weapons, that are monstrously better and in only a few days, this is bull-shit!”

At least that’s how I was feeling; I got to enjoy mine for a whole two weeks before it was turned into a wiffle-bat, I had set my sights on it many months prior; it was a huge disappointment, it’s hard not to feel cheated and let down. I do have some hope left; I’m waiting to see what this Nov. update will bring us.
