Your thoughts on the direction of this game?

I'm not a very big fan of, get gear for 3 months, then new patch and new gear, and repeat.

You're not alone, like it feels the devs only method to rewarding players is with just more gear. The game is just nearly one year old and it already feels like it has the mudflation that took Warcraft I think 5 years to achieve?
