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

[weeble]

Even given the possibility that there might be a replacement for the particular item I am going for in a raid I as someone who enjoys endgame would still do it. So would 99.99% of other people who like endgame. Some of my favorite memories from endgame in XI are tied to mobs that honestly had crap drops, but Dynamis? Other than the first time we beat each zones Dynamis became hell trying to get my Relic weapon. That is by far my worst memory of XI's endgame.
I'm probably not going to do content multiple times if no one needs something from it, but I don't think that is what will happen/they are saying at all.

i think the majority won't even do them at some point, yeah people will want to do them to see them and complete them but after a few times seeing there gear go to the dogs and having to get new set they will stop caring. stop logging in even or worrying about it. and in reality most players in mmo's don't put things together, they take invites. if no one is putting stuff together they are sitting on there tuck-us just asking if there will be a run any time soon? so 8man forced runs ...gear becomes pointless, u really think people will be doing nearly as much as they would of if it was full linkshell events that gear stayed usefull for long periods of time. yeah create lots of dungeons, but on top of this ..make them for materia or make gears stack or bind together from the new dungeons and the epic endgames.

also don't make crafted gear better, make some slots craft, some large scale stuff that lasts long time, and some that needs replacing alot from small man dungeons, that way we get a good taste of it all if anything.
