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

[Wolfie]

I wouldn't like it... Mainly because if gear gets substantially better every 3 months to the point where you're a lot stronger with the latest set, then it'd only take maybe a year before anyone could solo the previous content because they'd have 4 tiers higher in gear, making them super buff. It would suck... I want old content to remain equally challenging even a year down the road.

Why does it matter if people solo content that's no longer relevant?

And didn't people do that in FFXI anyway?
