If something takes way too much time to obtain, raising a cap and losing it's effectiveness is much more infuriating. Not the other way around. It's best to avoid replaceable achievements as long-term goals. Levels in classes are not replaceable achievements, but equipment is always replaceable.
that's because people enjoyed questing to get that rare and hard to obtain gear. if the new gear was another long time gear to acquire there would be more hype for it. it was looked down upon because they met the long term goals and then it took no time to get the replacement. see people loved the long term goal/ hard to get item, but didn't like the anybody can get bs ones that replaced them. that is where the problem lied. it wasn't that they were replaced, but how they were replaced.
