Just because the entire system is flawed doesn't mean that this one aspect with an easy fix should be ignored.
I agree with that "expiration" is bad, but what makes these 6 year old cosmetic earrings more important than everything else in ARR to eventually SB. We know that SE aren't going to stop 'expiring' old content and we know that if they did, a majority (not exclusive to the OF) of the playerbase will cry foul (why do old content level sync'd when you could do them unsync'd for easier clears?).
