"Glamour is the End Game"...What do you feel when you hear that?

I never can understand why people go on and on about items being replaced. Personally if I was forced to use the same item forever my interest would wane insanely fast. I'm motivated to attain gear if they look awesome. Not over a few numbers. What are those numbers good for anyway? Beating a bigger baddie? Why? For better gear with bigger numbers on it? Haven't we just come full circle then? Horizontal progression is stupid and boring. Even if you attained some item that had some kinda gameplay effect to it, making it last nigh forever what would that accomplish. I'll tell you what, it's make it so you have a permanent item slot so you never have to change the glamour you've placed on it. Do people complaining about vertical progression and glamour even know what they want really? I dunno. I just can't understand it seems.

If you weren't trying to be so dramatic you would think there is a compromise between changing your gear every patch (sometimes skipping entire sets because it takes more to gear up than for new gear to get released) and not changing it ever.

Also, you change your glamour when you want to change your look, regardless of the stats on your actual gear. What you're saying makes no sense.

I don't think anyone is actually asking to never replace gear. Part of MMOs is getting new gear sets everyone once in awhile. However replacing gear that already really has no "real" purpose every 3-4 month is a bit too fast, especially since it takes 3-4 months to even get the complete set. I get some people don't want to wait a year like with other MMOs, but there has to be a happy medium some where.

You don't play many mmos do you?
