No one is saying you will have the same gear forever. They are changing the difficulty of the Binding Coil of Bahamut to be easier so that people can grind it and then go for another set of gear that is better...which will then be nerfed to high hell so you can use that to grind for the next tier of gear... which will then... Do you see the problem yet? You don't get any sense of accomplishment. "Oh I'm sorry that you're losing your sense of accomplishment..." Well that is just BS because the entire purpose of building your character up is so that YOU HAVE A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT!

Accomplishments and the sense of prestige that comes with it is the MMORPG equivalent to "winning" in other game genres. It is the very goal of the game and the entire point to continuing to play after you've exhausted the main story. They are taking that away from people, thus demolishing the game for them. FFXI DID NOT DO THIS! They stopped at lvl 75 for many years before some guy decided it would be a good idea to try raising the level cap... which destroyed much of the game.
