My guess is that when 2.0 is out, all the old HNMs will be replaced by new ones, and their gear will be new as well and balanced appropriately.
only if the NM's are harder. The NM's in game right now are all super easy. Dodore has the most useful drop and prob is also the most challenging.(not counting SH nm's)

also a bunch of the nm gear is meldable so thats a step in the right direction.
