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

i'll tell u what i was royally pissed off when abyssea/magians was released and i watched all my gear go down the toilet ie Heca set/Ridill/Kenkonken and many other things. If SE ever pulls that crap in ff14 ill just quit and play console rpgs only.

This happens in most MMO's, when expansions or new content come out, some new gear will be released that will render your current gear obsolete. You just got to then work on getting the next set of gear. This is how you progress, 'cos staying in the same old gear... you may as well wear a nerfhat.
