    Transitioning from i130 to i140+

    Did it feel kind of strange? To slowly replace the set of gear that you've had for so long(for most of us at least)?

    My i130 ironworks boots was the last to go, at lvl55.

    It felt downright bizarre to replace Dreadwyrm and Ironworks with HQ whites from the MSQ.

    Try replacing your Zeta and tell me how that felt.

    At least you have Dreadwyrm gear.
    I never managed to be allowed into a T6 group, let alone Final Coil ._.

    You're only replacing its stats thanks to the Glamour system ... You never have to take it off, and its a glamour I'll never get myself.
    The effort to acquire these kinds of things doesn't make the result any less worth owning just because its stats were replaced down the line.

    Didn't feel strange at all. But then this isn't my first MMO.

    Yep, got replaced with a green dungeon drop. I stared at the item comparison in mild disbelief for a few moments, recalled that they'd said that our old gear would be viable till about level 55, then shrugged and equipped the new weapon.

    I've been gaming online since 1995. It still felt weird to replace raid gear with normal craftable gear.

    But then presumably you've been doing that this whole time. Because that's literally always how expansions work in vertical games.

    Pretty much this. This isn't my first rodeo so I had no hesitations.

    I had BiS Dreadwyrm and Ironworks for my SCH too. Had BiS for quite some time so honestly it kinda felt good to take it off and say goodbye.
