What is ignorant is that you think people don't accept that their gear will be obsolete in Stormblood. Everyone knows and expects that i275 will be levelling gear when stormblood releases. However that isn't for 3 months (which in this game is a long time due to how quickly patches come out). People are less concerned about the fact that gear becomes outdated and more that the devs are reckless about invalidating content. There is a HUGE difference between a gear cycle coming to an end and the devs randomly dishing out BiS rewards just because they don't have faith in content.

What if in 3.1 they put a weapon better than Omega1 in palace of the dead, is that acceptable now? I bet there are a lot of people are now subconciously afraid of that, and that distrust could affect the 4.0 raid scene.
