How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

Question is in the topic. Please -STAY- on topic. Post how -YOU- would feel and nothing more

Put another way, just answer the following:
How would you feel about "end-game" gear being replaced every 3 months or so via new raid/s or other end-game activities?

And to mods: if you think this thread is going off topic please just delete the posts of those who did anything but answer the question rather than closing or deleting the thread.

My Feelings:
I feel that if gear were to become outdated so quickly FFXIV would have to drastically increase the quality of end game content to become competitive. At the moment I strongly feel that FFXIV's raids, while great, can not compare to the raids of other games (due to lacking interactiveness, voice acting, and deeper stories). If end game content became based on the current quick-spawn HNM system and the current style of raids, I feel like people would only come back for a week after each patch, eventually find another game that involves them more and that they feel like they can "invest time" into, and leave FFXIV completely.

hate it , click here

love it ...click here

sorry not want to make a jump on u'r thread ...just wondering about the numbers and if it really will matter to yoshi and the team if all of us hate it. i'm for hate it by way. nothing at all i'm liking about this.

good idea ^ thanks :p
Still hope people take the time to post their opinions in words so that dev's have feedback on the issue :]

I don't like it either. Easy content with gear that will quickly be replaced doesn't feel rewarding
Hard content lasts longer, and you feel more rewarded if you earn something from it, especially if that something is going to last you a good long while.

Pretty much how I feel.

On another note, I don't think the previous thread even really got off topic o.O

I agree with what Kona said.

i basically think same as you in this, i don't see myself wanting to level more then one class, i see myself waiting for content. even not caring about the new content at some point. i think anything that will be created as larger then 8man groupings will be stuff that new mmo's are using as grind and fluffer not end game. i think there is nothing with this direction that will keep most real players to stay and play this game, and even worse i don't think it matters to them on top of it. nothing good to say about it at all, dungeons and 8man stuff is for pvp games ..not pve games. pve games need larger scale things, needs gear and weapons worth seeking after, not making it just some dinky stuff that everyone will have and all will be worthless in 3months. this is a system for a game that will die out quick.

I'm fine with raids gears being the best for 3 months.

If there are gears that are going to lasts for up to 1-2 year it will have to be difficult to obtain, but not through low droprate kind of crap, but something that everyone can progress on, such us building 1million thaumaturge guildmarks to get an 'Ishgard's Harhar Whooper Scepter'.
