How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

[Chardrizard]

I'm fine with raids gears being the best for 3 months.

If there are gears that are going to lasts for up to 1-2 year it will have to be difficult to obtain, but not through low droprate kind of crap, but something that everyone can progress on, such us building 1million thaumaturge guildmarks to get an 'Ishgard's Harhar Whooper Scepter'.

I did add a post to one of the other threads with an idea on how to make legendary gear difficult, and even added HQ legendary gear which would be the kind of stuff you'd only see like, 1 or 2 people every 6 months wearing. And even then it'd only be 1 item.

Collecting the whole set through my method would have taken like, a year or two, but then it would be legendary <3

Gear that's only good for 3 months could barely be considered rare, it'd be more like 'grind gear' than 'rare gear'.

I don't think FFXIV will ever actually BE competitive in raiding, let alone "stay".

You are probably one of those people that thinks WoW is the epitome of endgame raiding lol.

Everquest 1, though I know you are wanting me to say FFXI so yes FFXI's endgame was vastly superior to WoW's. Even Vanguard's APW and early overland encounters were better than 99% of WoW's endgame encounters.

Wow dude how defensive are you thinking I "want" you to say a certain game. I asked a simple question because i was curious of the answer. take the tin foil hat off.

AQ40? Really? It's sad that is your best example of a difficult encounter in WoW. I'm pretty sure a few million people got through it just fine and yet it is still that much harder than everything that has come out since 2006. All WoW's endgame seemed to have that people point out as "hard" are stupid gimmicky environmental hazards. Which is about all they can do to inject difficulty because their encounter/battle mechanics in that game are so simple.
