For everyone that says "all MMOs do that" that is an invalid statement for two reasons. 1) this is not an MMO. If you want to take that stance to defend the game's reset policies then you have to admit it has basically failed as an MMO. If you accept the party line that it is not an MMO then your argument the "all MMOs do this" is invalid from the start. 2) MMOs don't do it. Most MMOs have real levels. When the level cap is increased and better weapons and gear are introduced old fear is still useful because you can't equip the new stuff anyway (because they are too high level). So you need to grind to the next level and slowly replace your stuff. Also, MMOs expand at a much slower rate. WoW offers expansions every year at most. Not within a few months.
