I want 2.2 to be a "reset" for players in full i90 gear. Make Turn 6 a distant goal.

They were remade, not removed.

It's poor game design to allow people to catch up without having to play though old content that no one does?
If you ever played WoW, you'd know how hellish it was to replace someone from your static. No amount of "prestige" is worth the hassle of going to older content you're sick of doing and hoping to heavens stuff drops because lol lockouts.

Also the whole game will become pointless if new people aren't staying because they don't want to eternally play catch up.

And it's sad you're bothered by such thing as "the guy in greens". So you play to be better than others, and not to beat content with others?

(sorry, but people getting all defensive about their gear in a vertical progression MMORPG is absolutely hilarious)

Yeah, Warcraft is still trying to fix their wild Item level problems

I don't think inflating them is solving anything.

After 8 years we're gonna need one of those too.
If you don't raise the power considerably people won't feel compelled to upgrade, will just beat the last dungeon using their old gear and quit.
