Im not upset about losing my i130 gear in the least. I actually think this is good. The expansion levelled the playing field for now so everyone can get a chance at starting fresh again and therefore catching up. (Atleast as far as crafting/gathering goes)
Nope, more excited about getting more upgrades really.
I think the way they handled it was fine. With the story quest gear anyone coming into heavensward at i90 wouldn't be too shell shocked going in. Also the veterans got to skip 3 tiers of equipment. i115, i125, and i132
.
That's how I felt about it honestly. I would've been disappointed, I guess, if our i130 carried us through the entire expansion. While its a bit of wobbly feeling for me to say good bye to this gear already, I can understand all the valid points made throughout this post. I think it's more "darn it!" for me because I literally just got my last i130 on Wednesday.
Welcome to gear-based MMOs. Where every expansion all that special, top-level gear becomes trash.
Seriously though, it's just part of the genre. Can't really complain about it, especially since the top-level gear you had in ARR was only top-level because it was gear from the latest update. Before that, it was ilvl 120, etc.
/looks at Zeta
Um. What?
Nope. Was expected...and hey if iLv133 gear is better then hey...nice! I will still glamour my Dread Bard chest though to it because I love the look. That is what they make glamour for guys. Now working on the iLv 136 gear from Aeyer and hoping the bow drops soon just to see what it looks like...doubt it will be better than my Zeta yet.

They only ever convert the "lowest" Tome...Poetics will not get converted until much later.
