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

Perhaps these days' MMO gamers realize that XI style gear cycle was nothing but lazyness from SE, where they would make one single "raid" every expansion and just place the carrot really far ahead by grueling special currency farming and the crappiest drop rates. Maybe these days MMO gamers actually demand content to be supplied often, instead of crap drop rates that force them to do the same dungeon over and over and over and over...


Also, perhaps these days MMO gamers are no longer mostly nolifers, but regular gamers. The kind who play non MMOs as much and as hard as any MMO nerd wants to believe that only he can, but not necessarily can or want to sink their lives into a MMO.

That's probably a fair point.

But what's the point of releasing content anyway if no one wants to do it? This is what will happen if you make your carrots obsolete every so often.

keeping all content relevant , even old content, is important, especially for a slow company like SE.
