People complaining about new better gear

I don't see what's wrong with it, about every game does that, It is a good thing they can come out with new better stuff, that way people have a new goal to reach. I mean it also applies to real life, technology evolves quick, you gotta buy new stuff whether it be phones or Computer parts. I just wanted to clear that up to all the people who didn't seem to understand that.

The big problem is that they need RP weekend to be 24/7/365
I do agree its inevitable in a MMO that the gear treadmill would occur. But your analogy is bad.

Now there's a difference between people who have jobs who can afford better stuff and people who can't afford better stuff. Level 60 equipment can get you around too.

Some classes can use the old T2 sets, well certainly more than a flip phone can at surfing the web and playing games.
Have the gear and skills, but lack the friends to play with? Come and apply for Essence of Aggression. We have been here and strong since beta. (Immature, rude, and arrogant people will not be accepted)
PS. Getting Seals for equipment in Mod 7 will be easy.

However, in this game, it is you need new gear to do old content and use old gear to do new content (at least, in the beginning of the new content).
Its all way to tedious.. WAY too much. If they gave us ONE solid new module, with new dds, skirm and/or raid , once a year and made us regrind things for a month or so, thats what most other mmos do. You then do your alt or two of your choosing and join your friends in the raids and/or pvp . Just doing that in other games on average play time of 25 hours a week is more then enough content.
What we have here is just a thow a dartboard selection of quests and revamped MASSIVE grind over and over.
This was warned about back in MOD 4, when that recycled grind content was given to us. Many of us threw out caution flags at that point. IT was way too MUCH daily time to get through (not days, DAILY time) waiting around for dragons and doing it 3-4 zones a day. Its still too much btw.
The grind in the game needs to be reduced by about 80% to allow for more alts and more focus on GAME play.
In the old days, I would do GG every day on 2-3 alts, do doms 2-3 times a day and a dd 2-3 times a day, varied by using 2-3-4 characters and it was a blast. I came to this game because of the casual style and the gameplay and variety it offered.
Now this game has MORE grind then the one I LEFT! and that was a top notch MMO, with massive (IE about 1-2000 actual story line content then this game has) at the time I left you could run 6 different 3 mans, 12 different skirms , 5-6 different raids and like 8 or so small groups dds), and open world pvp that was closed instance (duh..)
You could get 5-6 toons to raid ready EVERY year between releases and enjoy it way more!
There is simply no reason to replace gear every 3 months in a mmo, its just a little ridiculous.
I agree with this one. It was way too fast. Back then, I out level the dungeon (the old good day) and could not get in if I did a little bit more such as doing CTA events, dungeons, skirmish, etc. I kept on out level the new area which was one thing I dislike back then.
I took a Lotro alt from 1-70 in 12 hours and that included all the relevant story line to get my 2nd age sword. All you had to do is buy all the crafted gear (weapons especially) as they were about 50% better then drops, with that much more dps you were like 2-3 levels advanced all the time, litterally slamming through all content (WHICH is what you want when you have already done/explored everything 2-3 or more times!)
BUT crafting there was reasonable.. all you needed was some mats that cost a few gold to do them. Here.. omg, its way too harsh to worry about and there really is no reason to do it.
There is no REAL story line to even appreciate here, while in lotro, they really had thousands of them and unique areas to explore that felt like you accomplished something (bilbos 12 buttons in goblin town!)
Im not saying it was better, but you cant lock out people like they are doing here.. its not even fun ! to do lvl 61-70 content, as the repetitive nature of it sucks out any joy there could be.
After you have already done all the areas here, why lock it out so grotesquely. I dont know of anyone who has multiple alts that appreciates this at all..
There isnt even enough experience to get your toons to max level when you DO all three areas! Thats a problem and poorly designed to boot.
That is more or less what I did when I raised the 2nd toon back then. I was carefully not to level up too fast myself and made sure I did area before I was banned to go in. For the idle toons, I made sure I did not do invocation and leadership so that they could not level up.
So after doing Sharandar and DR for boons, went to IWD and WOD, got better gear.
Now with new module and lvl 70 i feel i have been relegated and (only option) is to do Shar and DR AGAIN..just to farm, couse Iwd and Wod will get most of players killed at every pack.
So there is (old) content that that most players simply can't play anymore, unless you want to hold hands in every zone.
Why is there no new lvl 70 Epics in SH - DR, when there were for lvl 60.. now i think of it why is there nothing to gain from doing WF, Celadaine beside getting XP and 5 coppers
Also when i see the Prot Seal Alliance Raid / Assault gear there is no real upgrade, tbh its a step back for me it may give me a higher gear rating but stats wise its not better.. so what to do where to go ?.
Honoustly Armors are to limited, there need to be more variety and item lvls and more tiers... this sounds like a mooaaar whine be i think its a must.
And increase RP gain perminately.. why wait for 2x RP weekend.
