    This is actually incorrect. It did happen once, but it was actually in 2.4—Snowcloak, Sunken Temple HM, and Sastasha HM dropped tokens for the i90 Myth (AF+1) sets.

    The dungeons added in 2.1 and 2.2 had new sets in addition to dropping older sets that were at the same item level (the ones from 2.1 were mostly recolors, but they did have some modifications).

    Darklight was added to dungeons that also had new sets because it was the same item level as that dungeon. In addition to dropping the Darklight gear, Lost City/Brayflox HM/Halatali HM dropped the Protector's, Hussar's, Fistfighter's, Shikaree's, Magician's, and Pilgrim's sets, all of which were new at the time.

    Since the new dungeon gear is most likely going to be i200, it will most likely drop new sets. It's rather unlikely that we'll see them alter the item level of the Yasha/Asuran gear to make it fit the dungeon—that's something they've done very rarely.

    Instead, it'll likely be added to Centurio Seals (which mirrors what they did with Soldiery gear when it was made unavailable through Tomes) or perhaps made available in something like Fractal/Neverreap through tokens, to help fresh 60s gear up.

    It's still only happened once. While they added preexisting gear to the 2.1/2.2 dungeons, those dungeons also got new sets at the same time (they dropped two sets for each role). The only dungeons that didn't get new sets at all were the Snowcloak series in 2.4.

    It's possible. Just feels like an easy fix when there's so much other more important content coming.

    Moving it to Centurio isn't difficult either—they just put new items on the vendor's list. Modifying the item levels means they have to modify both the Yasha and Asuran gear, as there will be characters that have both pieces. If they move them to the Centurio vendor, all they have to do is move the Yasha stuff, as the upgrade items to make them Asuran come from the same vendor already.

    Designing a new set of dungeon armor is though. I hope I'm wrong actually lol.

    Oh, sure, that takes time. But that's...the whole job of the art team. They don't do any of the other work on the game, and they haven't had to design any more sets than they've usually done, so it's likely that we'll be getting a new set following established patterns.
