Would you rather not have the option to keep your exotic gear relevant? That's the alternative. They provided a system to bring old gear into a relevant standing with new higher level gear available. "I have to [b][i]play the game[/i][/b] more to be max level? WTF? I am max level now, I should still be max level even when the level raises." Leveling=grind=the basis of evolutionary tree style games. You're kind of making yourselves look stupid community, very unbecoming. Get your elbows off the dinner table.
