Suggestions about end game content

We can meld request, why do you assume they couldn't also add a craft request for said theoretical gear? Materials stay in the holder's inventory, untradable, but can be crafted by someone other than them.

Also, power creep is an insidious problem in MMOs, and focusing on constantly adding new gear with higher numbers quickly makes old content irrelevant, at which point the game has to start enticing its constantly ebb-and-flow population to return to the game by giving them bigger numbers AND handing them previously high calibre equipment for free, or damn near it, just to make the newer, actually valued content available to newer players who will have no appreciation for anything from previous updates as they'll never have any reason to experience them the way they were intended to be played.

Not saying cosmetic-only gear is the way to go, but neither is allowing the constant in-game arms race to run un-checked. One of the reasons I was glad 2.1 didn't introduce a new top tier for gear.
