    Then make the gear unique.

    HP drain and Fire damage from Moggle and Ifrit are a good start.

    How about a double attack weapon?
    Movement speed boots?
    "Full resist" shield for each debuff type? (a shield that resists all sleep for example)
    Cast speed weapon
    Attack speed belt

    The above items scale, and even when they become oudated, they are still useful for their uniqueness situationally and thus the content is useful for the future because all players want a set of those items eventually. People will go BACK and do that content, never becoming outdated.


    Now, in order for a few of those to be useful, like a bind resist shield, there needs to be a use for it. a NM that spams Bind, a fight that requires the speed boots for kiting, a boss that takes triple fire damage (ifrit weapons) etc...
