    The removal of the lockouts is not the issue. The issue is that they are nerfing the old content so they can use it as a stepping stone for future content, which is seriously messed up. The practice is demonstrably bad as can be seen in World of Warcraft, where the vast majority of its raid content has become obsolete. That is all of WoW's vanilla content as well as three expansions worth of encounters down the toilet.

    Anyone who argues that is just how mmos are has not played in the mmo golden age where we had a wide variety of game types and different forms of progression that worked. It all got thrown in the dustbin when every big business decided they needed to copy wow. The fact that SE had a working model of sideways progression that succeeded for years, but decided to copy the broken throw-away-content progression of wow is kinda mind numbing.
