New ilevel and old content

[Roth_Trailfinder]

The new mainstream.

All content is negated every 6-12 months.

It is a horrible trend which literally every major mmo developer out there has adopted.

Just remember all your work is for nothing.. and try to have fun knowing you are wasting your time on harder content when you could do it later with little to no difficulty and no absurd lockout restrictions.

Its the speed. The faster people are able to devour content, the faster they need new content to keep them entertained. New content has to regularly (though not necessarily always) obsolete the older content in some manner, else there would be no reason to do the newer content.

Would anyone be happy if the new HM dungeons dropped i60 gear (same as the current HM dungeons) but are as much a difficulty increase over Pharos as Pharos is over WP? Would anyone really want to bother with WP if the new HM dungeons dropped i70 gear, 100 philo, 50 myth, and 30 newtome, and was equally easy as WP?

If it ain't an upgrade in some manner, people aren't going to bother with it. If it IS an upgrade in some manner, then its gonna be part of obsoleting the older stuff. Plain and simple.

thou i agree on the poster above where it stated the dungeons should have a sort of ilvl sync :P

move on and get on with the newer content? I mean that's a trend for MMOs nowadays (not sure if it's a good thing though), older contents are being left out for the new comers while older players don't bother with it anymore.

Not all old players do that i my self run old runs as a healer for the hell of it i know my guild mates do the same

Your "hard work" is for nothing anyways. Everything is for nothing and everything is useless. Fun doesn't exist. Only ilvl.

That content is going to be pointless anyway since you can spam new dungeons and get better gear even faster, presumably the new dungeons will give myths + the new tomes, so philos are basically trash now and full i90 will take like a week or less

You mean like how everyone had full darklight or equivalent in less than a week? Oh wait... they didn't...
Some people will probably do it, but that's a minority.

Putting us back exactly where we are now I guess. ilvl 70 takes a week, then slow to i90. I guess I see no problem with this really. Im glad I started playing when I did though, I would hate to hit ilvl 90 in a week, flashing through all that lovely content xc

Like "WoW"? No Thanks... Each 3 months grind new content and all your actual gear is obsolete. That was my reason for quit WOW, is annoying....

I hope in this game we have longevity in the gear like in FFXI. After of 3 years your coil stuff be on pair with the new stuff released.

Yes they did.. it was always easy to have full DL in a week
