More interesting loot please! Here are some ideas!

Gear currently has a 6 month lifespan. It would be nice to have a few pieces that are strong enough to survive a year, and be better than something 20 ilvls higher or more.

For example at current rates, each ilvl170 accessory will be very close to 4% of your main stat. Give an ilvl170 accessory +4% to main stat, and some nifty extra whatever. When you upgrade the rest of your gear it gains the main stat, but not fast enough to keep the main stat on par with new gear. The extra effect is enough to make it powerful right away, then viable through a couple upgrades.

This would be terrible! Personally I find the 6 moth cycle to be on the long side. I'd prefer if gear lasted about 3 months and then it was time to farm up the next level. But the current balance is good enough I suppose.

But I really have nothing to worry about. Yoshi talked about this issue before and already said he's nervous about doing anything like this.
