They absolutely should, but it’s just not high enough on their priority list- they simply don’t have the man hours free to dedicate towards side stuff like this. Or rather, they don’t want to.
I understand what you are saying, but I don't believe old content should rot. Having older content as a trust or squadron will hurt no one. The systems are already in place. I think people get to hung up on 'we gotta have something new or the game will die' I would rather have something engaging even if it's a rework of older content. What is kinda sad to me is many dungeons in MMOs get left behind and they just sit there. Content that when it was new it was fun, why can't it be spruced up and reused or at the very least reused for a trust or squad? But back to the point of the thread, newer content that is group content should remain that way for at least 2 years or until more is released. I had a thought about retaining the uniqueness of gear gotten from newer content. It could be color coded and not in the way you think. During the first 3 months of new content any gear that drops the name should be in purple, after 3 months the gear name would be in blue etc changing the color of the name would show who completed the content when it was new and current, and lower colors would signify who completed it when it got changed because the content was older. Maybe that would help keep the uniqueness of a item. Just a thought.
