Revocation and replacement of item level system

[Rubeus]

Just quoting that, the rest of the drivel is par for the course it seems with you. Have you thought about focusing your attention on single player games that never advance forward in any degree or anything? It's as if you expect everything you ever worked for to remain relevant because you worked sooooo hard for it that it some how validates your entire argument. If you had talked about, idk, Ebody augments, or Legion +1 gear, or camping Niddy for years to get your Ridill back in the day, or anything that actually involved any meaningful amount of time or investment, I'd agree, say that's too bad, the game is moving forward, and leave it at that. But you're bringing up relic armor? Empy gear? Gtfo. No one has claimed anyone hasn't worked for what they have. But this is an MMO. Guess what you have to do in an MMO to remain relevant as time goes by?

What's even more asinine is most of the stuff you mentioned in that very post is still relevant! Cool, you got your AF, relic, and Empy, that's one less incredibly time devouring task of terribleness that you have to worry about.

Cancel like you said, one less person demanding handouts in the form of 0 gear progression at least.

I mentioned probably closer to 20 pieces of gear, and right around 330 pieces of gear for RME -alone-. BST would get 1-shotted and when that happens, your pet dies.

So while a lot of the RME is still relevant and it's steadily risen from +1 to +2 to reforged to +1, and I'm pretty genuinely fine with that, albeit they could've made it a lot less tedious, the vast majority of "butterfly gear" hasn't been touched. Which is what I said to begin with. For the record, I do know what its like to camp an HNM for years, as my first 75 back in the day was Bard and that's basically all you get invited to do as Bard (back then, Bards weren't invited for Missions or serious battlefields. FYI.)

I'm fine with gear progression. Gear progression does not mean slapping haste and defense on a bronze harness and asking me to be happy about it. I also said "unsubbing for a while" not "omg im uninstalling 4evr!!1!"
