Wow, it's been a really, really long time.
Why would we be seeing new mob designs? There's existing ones not used plus it's the same areas, they don't need to plop down new monsters for the sake of it, none of the MMOs I've played done that and I can guarantee unless they had a graphics patch the mobs that existed in the newbie area and beginners areas 3-5 years ago will still be there and nothing new. New monsters, especially in all of SE's MMOs tend to come with new areas, quest related, monster replacement and placement changes and event systems -- they never just plop down new monsters for the sake of it lol.

Also "6 months of armor/weapon" could realistically be only a couple given the detail and branch crafting of them in this game.
