What's the point of creating new weapons and gear? Increasing level cap? Any grind? You can't delve into the future if you refuse to let go of the past. There is no game in which enemies increase in dmg and health but you continue using the same weapon of increasing strength. Worse what if those weapons are better, less balanced, op even. New people can't get them so now you would have an unfair advantage. There is a million reasons not too and all you imbeciles can say is "oooh, I have an emotional connection to a virtual object..that is also virtually inanimate" get used to this b/c it will always be around...
