People tend to take these kind of things as if there's no tomorrow... :/
Well by that logic, all of your current gear will be old when 2.0 launches, so you should be completely naked and have to start over.

All they need to do is simply not allow for the selling of dated items via AH (still trade/bazaar if you feel like it), since everyone feels that it would clutter things. It's one thing to delete the items used to make them, but getting rid of the actual gear itself is a bit ridiculous.

As for new players, I'd certainly hope they're not so dumb that someones trophy dated gear ruins the game for them.
