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

Can someone help me out here. I don't see anywhere, where they say gear will be useless after three months. This is what I see.

A small group of hardcore players will skip sleep or the need to eat and jump into a high level battle right after it is released. These players will then be the first to obtain a shining rod that has devastating powers and can only be equipped by a black mage. Other players will gaze at these hardcore players with aspiration. However, in 3 months time, a solid strategy will be formulated and the difficulty level of the battle content will be adjusted too, allowing players “who cannot put their entire life into gaming” to eventually obtain the shining rod.

This simply means that at first the content will be hard until people figure it out and develop a solid strategy. That strategy will spread by word of mouth and the dungeon will become "Easy" for future adventurers. So when you go in you know you have to go by steps A-B-C to Finnish it successfully. By that time the next patch will come out and the hardcore players will have to fumble around to find that strategy and the cycle repeats. I don't see anywhere it says equipment will be obsolete. Just that the community will figure out a standard successful strategy to beat the dungeon therefor making it easier for the next wave of players....

True people always go crazy over little things.
