What's the point of even gathering all of this shiny new gear then? Most players aren't working on FCoB right now. It was pretty awesome finally getting through lights to work on Zodiac with my pretty new Nexus weapon only to have it synced back down to the same strength it was before the 2000 lights in 11 out of the 16 dungeons you have to do for Zodiac drops (even lower in AV and DD).

To the few of you that actually want farming dungeons to be even more tedious than they already are, why don't you just equip older gear? I don't know why you want to punish everyone else. I have never played an MMO that nerfed all of your gear on old content before this game, and it completely kills the fun when you can't push the limits of new shinies by seeing how much faster you can get through dungeons that used to take 30-45 minutes to complete.

It's bad enough that old dungeons keep being recycled for new content. If you want to keep dungeons viable for new players, add better rewards to high level roulette and stop throwing so many dungeons into the one category (previous patch expert roulette dungeons don't need to be immediately shoved into the high level category).
