Before mod 6 best gear was slightly better than lower tier gear, no big hp increase, little more damage etc. It scaled nicely.
What is the idea of new gear ? AS much HP as possible ? Other stats don't matter ?

Before mod 6 -less hp and less damage, worked well. Why increase it all to make the game more WOW like ? What is so cool about big numbers floating on the screen ? So people feel more heroic ? Come on. What's the goal ?

Healing potions outdated.
Companions too powerfull at low levels, die like fly at high levels. (same for SW puppet)
Armor doesn't matter, mobs ignore it all.
Old gear outdated.

    I think it's a "my HAMSTER is bigger than your HAMSTER" thing... a useful marketing tactic to lure over WoW and DDO players by saying "hey look, you, too can crit 6-digit numbers!"

    LOL think you hit it on the head there. Do not understand why any one would need 100k HP. Why not have 1k HP and enemy's would b scaled the same.

    Big numbers in the old school days just meant longer more epic fights, not this 1-shot and I am dead, why does it matter if I have 1hp or a million?

    2d8 or 2d10 was AMAZING damage back in the day.

    There is really no need for these massive numbers. But the Bi$ players like to jerk off over it.
