Some will argue "it makes previous content trivial/obsolete", well duh it should, T4 is 4 yrs old, it should be trivial and obsolete. If you don't have proper gear escalation, it takes away a goal to chase after. Otherwise, we'd all still be wearing slave outfits and killing stuff in T6 with the broken oar or glass bottle we started with on Tortage beach. People like improving their toons, and worthwhile gear is the best incentive out there, more so than fluff like titles, pets, etc.
