Honestly, shut up. The beauty of XI's design for years (until level cap increase) was the dev team would constantly pump out alternatives to the older gear, without obsoleting it - effectively giving players many choices. THAT is good game design, and probably one of the major reasons XI has lasted as long as it has. A Year old? Big deal, Sky Gear was amazing for 5+ years. That's the other extreme I'll grant you, but it's not like they didn't try to make anything that could compete with it, such as Limbus & Salvage gear.

Heck even the Nyzule Isle stuff was pretty decent. Campaign gear wasn't horrible for a while... etc etc. The WoW approach of simply negating older gear with new content is absurd and all it does is restrict our options and kill incentive for new players to try the older content. Again, another strong point of XI - there's always something to do.
If I could, I'd like this post 100x over. Well said.
