New Module - New Gear - Old Things Go To Trash

Not a lot of information has been released yet about the Underdark, so I wanted to start a discussion early. Please, and again with emphasis, *Please stop making new gears.* Understand that, when we pay $500 to complete a gear set or work 30 days to complete a campaign, we expect some longevity...some mileage off the rewards.
It seems fair to have good progression, something to motivate to play the new content, that's great, but don't make it feel like all the work we've done in the past are a waste. The devs can do something that "builds upon" what we already have, improving it. Opposed to get-new-gear-discard-old. A few things come to mind;
Reinforcement Kits - We get this off doing class professions. This is great, why not expand this system? Campaign rewards that grant a huge boost of stats to existing equipments.
Gear-to-artifact - Instead of designing whole new sets, maybe try a campaign reward that is able to magically transform existing gear into artifact gear, adding a taste of progression to old items.
You think - This is Cryptic's game and ultimately their decision to make. But they've certainly made some good and bad choices in the previous campaigns. If there is even a remote possibility, I know I've put this discussion out there. If it goes nowhere, at least I voiced out the sentiment of a good majority of us.

The thing they need to do is stop making old gear useless. We need to be able to use our old gear to help us get the new one. IWD was a good example of this. We were able to use our previous gear to farm BI gear. It was tough at first, but perfectly doable. That's proper progression.
This 6th module, I had to change my Corrupted BI set for lesser gear so I can have more HP. That that's forcing me to spec into something I don't necessarily like, and is not good design when they take away my options.
