All I can see from this is the NGE experience all over again.

This might be the final nail in the coffin for this game.

damn, this game has had so many final nails in the coffin and has still survived. How strange. omg /NGE /ragequit

This thread will die, and in March after the expansion comes out, I am going to necro this thread and all of you winy bitches will see how much you over reacted.

Let's at least wait until we get some cold hard facts with details before we start claiming that this is going to destroy the game.

Whoa there sonny, why the fuck would we do that? If we're not basing our arguments around spurious preliminary dev claims and twisting hypothetical situations around until they're represented in the worst light imaginable, how can we support our e-rage festivities?!

I think this thread is filled with enough "theorycraft", to borrow a SC term. We should be able to make a fair assessment of what is going to happen.

Sorry I don't have the endurance to read this entire thread, so if this was mentioned before my apologies.

Isn't this the same idea they had at launch where gear was given a level and you had a range of effectiveness depending on your level difference to the gear?

I believe that's a WoW term, buddy.

Considering at launch gear didn't scale down as you outgrew it, it only grew as you became closer to the highest effective level.

kind of. Back then, it hit all stats, but this change was stated to just be blue stats (crit, double attack, etc).

Wait. . . what? Are you for or against people jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about what is going to happen? Your post kind of contradicts itself. We can't assess what is going if they haven't even developed it yet or released full details, etc.
