They've already done that with XIV though. Darkhold gear is garbage, as is HNM gear. Ifrit weapons are trash. I don't agree with how they've handled new expansions in WoW, no. The major jumps from one expansion to another were pretty outrageous. That's not what's being discussed though. I'm bringing up how vanilla was, people say there was a sense of gear progression, it's what keeps higher tier players motivated to keep playing. It's fine if a casual player doesn't have the skill to tackle the hardest content, but this doesn't need to be a casual versus hardcore thread. You can have casual progression too.
