I disagree with this statement. With level cap increases and introduction of gear that is marginally better through expansions, gear will slowly become obsolete. There will be a time during which a selected item will resell for about the same amount, but it will not be for entire game's life time.

When I spend an extended time to get something, I don't want this item's value to be 0 as soon as I bind it. There has to be a good upgrade option in place, for me to be OK with it.
