Gear Swaps are not in the game and likely will never be, I knew people in FF11 who waited 4yrs never missing a dynamis run for a -1 rdm hat because they were so rare, if content is replaced every 1-2yrs, will you still do the event? The same can be said for HNM's, would you wait 4yrs for an E.body knowing that halfway through its going to be worthless?

If HNM's were exactly what they were in 11, it simply would not work, it cant. The fact that content will be replaced every 1-2yrs guarantees there will be short respawns, high drop rates, and in general gimpy content.

Again, I am not advocating for any of these old discussions, the game will be as broken as any other current mmo full of instant gratification content for 12yr olds, im simply saying your ideas are sadly flawed.
It won't be a complete WoW clone..I'm betting on it being a hybrid hopefully with more FFXI than WOW in it. The playerbase for this game and the fans aren't like the WOW ones hopefully they see it and figure it out before it's to late. My ideas can still happen it's all about how they apply new content and level caps as well as how often. They have a good developing team so I hope they see my main post and really look at it. It's a long-shot but I can hope.
