Can we get new leveling gear?

[Arkine]

ARR has been out for over a year now, and we didn't get any new gear that isn't lv1 glamors or lv50 endgame gear.

We did not get a single new Lv2-49 item in game since it was released. Not counting event items and daggers.

It's even more strange since with the introduction of NIN, I was expecting a number of eastern style leveling clothes to match it, but we didn't get any.

This makes me wonder if this trend will continue when Heavensward launches. Can we just forget about getting any new leveling items and settle for the 1.0 rags we have right now? (Remember that a lot of those sets came with bets to complete the look, but after their removal, a lot of this gear looks simplistic and boring.)

I know how much Yoshi and his crew love cutting corners, but here's to hoping 3.0 comes stock-full of new leveling gear.

That is because the majority of the time in the game is spent at endgame level 50 not leveling.

It'd actually be neat if we had the "Heirloom" type equipment WoW had. Gear you don't have to replace till you're at 50, levels up with you, and gives you a combined exp bonus per piece you wear.

Wow is for children, too damn easy because of things like 'heirloom' gear.

For people just starting out in wow they have 100 levels to grind through to catch up to end game. Equipment to help people level up is no big deal, it just speeds up the worst part of MMOs.

Yes, but. leveling too fast means that some people can get confused as to what quests are really the main story, and what aren't. I know some people still don't know what quests are main scenario and what aren't. I also know that some people think they can't have more than one job crystal. Those latter people will hit level 30 then get all their other classes to level 30 before they actually choose a job.

That's just people not reading the tutorials, which explain all of that. So I can't feel too much pity about that.

if you can get 10 levels on the night of release of an expansion pack(and i've seen it), i don't think 100 levels are all that hard to get from scratch.

WoW is for self-entitled children who want everything immediately.

Skipping 90 levels is why there are so many bad WoW players now.

This reminds me of "Legacy" Armor in Free to plays, and is often shunned upon because it's often a cop-out to actual armor designs and modeling. I doubt the developers want to deal with that kind of thing. Adding this kind of armor would make all the other armor useless pretty much, as this "armor" would look cool off the bat, and you'd never need to roll on stuff like Plundered set in Sastasha, which you can sell for money. Are you also trying to put crafters out of a job, and make armor prices even higher?

I'd personally vote to not have any more of WoW's nonsense to come into this game. It's ideas like that nonsense "heirloom" system that turn modern gamers into what they are - lazy, entitled, and impatient.
