Doesn't that leave a huge gap in using duty currencies to upgrade gear from 70-79th level? Or are they going to be putting iLevel 390 items on a gil merchant?

I still have a couple jobs I want to level up and gear to 360/390. Just a casual player here (don't do much raiding other than occasional pugs).
So not only are we being nerfed due to a level cap increase, our current progress of currency is being taken too?

I wonder why MMO's do this? Its like the new 5G coming out, they want me to buy a new phone because my current one wont work anymore by the end of the year...the sales clerk didnt mention this to me when he sold it to me a couple months ago! It would have been more convenient for the customer if they just worked around the hardware for the upgrade so my old phone wouldnt be junked after the cost to buy it to begin with was so high...the same could be said for our end game gear. Allow it to level with us so the effort wasnt in vein. But thats just me thinking of my own convenience.
