The problem isn't so much how long the gear stays good, but the long term effect of constantly bumping gear scores up at a set point in level. If they are proceeding down this direction it's pretty clear Yoshida and his team aren't paying attention to what has happened in World of Warcraft after all the years they had been bumping gear score. Now they are forced to normalize the gear across multiple expansions and mess with damage numbers. Not only that, but they are doomed to render prior content obsolete with this kind of system and any kind of achievement people may have had along with it.

If this was the first time we were seeing this, I wouldn't be so hard on SE, but we've seen this happen now multiple times and it always turns into a mess.
