I remember when it took weeks to get your full Dungeon 1 set (used to be T0 freaking kids) and it was amazing to have. When the Burning Crusade came out a lot of raiders and hardcore PVP Rank 14’s got beyond screwed when all their hard fought epics and T2-3 gear was easily replaced by level 61 greens.

Safe to say a lot of players now have the same fear. Blizzard has made an official response to this issue however.

Q u o t e:
but there isnt the huge gear gap to be corrected so we wont be seeing people double thier hp and spell damage within 5 quests in northrend.

There was also a change in how much Stamina items got when The Burning Crusade came out and the new items should maintain the consistency they have now and not jump up a huge margin. (src)

Q u o t e:
It’s one of the reasons why I’m not going to be continuing with the game. There’s virtually no point to even getting the sunwell epics, because there is nothing in the game that is actually hard enough to need them. What’s the point of being able to one-shot a mob a few milliseconds more quickly then the one-shotting we can do with current gear?

It’s been rather disappointing. Blizzard has turned the game into nothing but stupid skilless grinds.

But a level 76 creature may be easier to kill with Sunwell gear, right? (src)

I want to say that all the gear I am fighting for today won’t be replaced after mere minutes of playing Wrath of the LichKing, but that’s a pipe dream and honestly it’s the way MMOs are made. The game evolves, heroes die, gear gets outdated, and we move on.
