How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

I think he just meant that they're communists, not really racist lol.

I don't think these kids even know what communism is. They'd probably think it would sound great.

Let's make the game harder than pulling teeth! Everything has to be super hard in order to cater to elitists with too much time on their hands, because they judge their self worth based on literally fake assets and if their fake fairy items in a fake fairy world aren't rarer than the fake fairy items of the common casual plebeians, they'll cry.

How about we give people what they work for? How about that huh? Can't do something someone else can? Does it upset you someone might have an item you don't? Will you cry in real life and quit the game?

Oh wait you don't even play the game anyway. Guess you won't.

The hardcore players get it first. They get it before anyone else. All the casuals gaze upon them in towns as they flaunt their brand new shiny gear only hours to a day after content release, and fill with aspirations of obtaining such gear themselves... eventually.

3 Months later Yoshi adds a new carrot on a stick for hardcore players to foam in the mouth trying to get, while casuals by then have an easier time getting the previous set.

Hardcore players are being rewarded by always being a step ahead. Casuals are not being punished by not being able to get gear ever because they don't spend massive amounts of time on a game.

I don't see a problem.

Also, anyone that is still going on about gear becoming obsolete every 3 months is reaching new levels of ignorance. New content = new gear =/= better gear. Variety is good. Alpine War Jacket is the newest of the new. I still prefer my Buccaneer's Shirt on PGL.

Yoshi-P clearly acknowledged he wants to address player uniqueness and how everyone looks the same with all the same gear. Making new content always have better gear would be quite counter-productive to that don't you think?

And so what is the point in playing the game then? To be the same as everyone else and not have to work for gear? That doesn't seem to sound too fun unless you're bad at the game.
