[quote]Obseletion is necessary for this game.[/quote]
I'm going to have to stop you right there. Why?
This isn't an MMO that's going to last a decade; it's already been confirmed that they're planning to release a sequel [i]next freaking year[/i]. This ecosystems isn't going to be around long enough to need any sort of "planned obsolescence."

This is a terrible, disproven approach, man. People said the same thing when Etheric Light was announced, but guess what? People STILL used new stuff, bro! I adored my VoG gear as much as anyone, but I still started using way more HoW gear than anything else. (Dat Trials gear, tho)
In the same way, TTK gear is just as new and exciting, but there's no reason I can't enjoy using new AND old stuff. :P

I know it's not an MMO but the game and it's sequals need to rapidly change and improve if the series is to succeed. To me making people use new gear from year to year is the best way to do it. Also you are right, mostly. I did find myself using new gear but that's because the effort of obtaining Etheric Light was rather time consuming to me. Infusing is much easier and simpler. Sacrifice something stronger along with easily obtained materials.
