I sure hope HW is not going to be more armor grind treadmill!

This is what has me worried the most about the future of the game. If we're just going to raise the level cap and make the previous gear useless then it's not going to have the same staying power. If you look at FFXI you had content from every expansion you were still doing well into the late years of the game. It didn't "feel" as old because you were doing something different every day/week. That's what I want for the future of FFXIV as well.

What do you want them to do? something gimmicky like "in order to beat this boss you have to restart from level 1 and wear your starting gear" seems like you guys don't know what you want. Or you can just use glamours and make your old gear not useless
