But when we talk about 'starting gear' in the expansion, what would that be exactly? The job-specific AF2 stuff at lv60? I feel there's a big question mark about how powerful that is going to be. It might crap over even the strongest lv50 gear, but it might not. And when you talk about the raid/currency gear in the expansion, then you run into lockouts, so the old WoD would still be there to gear jobs while you wait for slow weekly progression on new locked content. If they do plan to make an unprecedented move and having you instantly get gear in expansion that blows out everything that came before it, then they can either do what you are suggesting and remove old lockouts early, or introduce new plans for that gear to make it still relevant, such as letting you desynth it into highly useful materials for crafting.
