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

I don't like it either. Easy content with gear that will quickly be replaced doesn't feel rewarding
Hard content lasts longer, and you feel more rewarded if you earn something from it, especially if that something is going to last you a good long while.

Final Fantasy 11 End Game was perfect. Doing hard core insane missions filled with lore that took months to complete leading you to be able to reach end game involving Gods, Sky and Sea, HNMs, NMs as difficult as obtaining multi hit great katana in the CoP zone. Nyzule Isle, Dynamis, BCNM, KSNM, all of that was time consuming and well worth it. The gear took long to get but felt so good when achieved and people wanted you in groups and guilds because of your well earned power. Better gear = faster merits, xp, BIGGER EPEEN, easier encounters with End Game monsters to furhter obtain more gear.

When things are hard to get, it makes us want it even more and go the extra mile to achieve it. Involving adventure, memories, invested time worth while, new friends, tactics, strategies, that feeling you get when obtaining it and every time you use it or show it off.

When things are easy to get, everyone will have it. Clones of you will be everywhere, there is nothing to look forward to, the game becomes dull and boring, epeen won't exist ; ; You will never feel unique, investing time into an MMO when things are just handed to you is a complete waste of time IMO... it makes no sense.
