Soft reset of top tier items: PoE is losing one of its key unique features!

Dark Age of Camelot was the worst offender at this. Every expansion made the old one obsolete. That game thrived on competition. Trials of Atlantis really ruined it for many.

For me it was the transition from WoW classic to the first expansion. Seing my Naxramas items being replaced by quest rewards just killed the game for me.

Yes, this was a promise på Chris (GGG) a long time ago: Items and gear will NOT loose their value/impact.

A very stupid promise in my eyes, as it severely limits the potential of future expansions, content and gear. If I crafted a 6xT1 axe the first month I played, I knew that i will NEVER find/craft a better weapon, even if the game gets 1000 acts and is updated for 500 years.

No, that promise had to go.

Can anyone actually link any of these quotes?

Since the start of the game and with the additions of new legendaries this has already been happening. Where are your old crafted gloves that was mirrorworthy? In most cases they became worthless after acuities were added for example.

There's a bit of a difference between an ARPG vs an MMO - that being said anyone who wants complete stagnation and only improvements to gear being specific to "looks" should check out Guildwars 2 - my understanding is that there will never be any significant upgrades to gear ever besides just pure looks.


I think the main reason people in POE would have room to complain is specifically that Chris repeatedly stated that GGG wasn't intending to add tier gear because that really messes up what people currently have.

We're talking about rares, normal tiers on normal, rare gear. Acuity is far from BiS for non-crit builds, as they are pretty build dependent. But OK, I'll try to find some quotes for you. Just need to get my shovel and start digging.

Dont you think acuity overruled a ton of crafted gloves as BiS by a large margin?
Or when legacy Shavs/Kaoms was added to the game, it overruled a bunch of crafted chests? CoE for a bunch of helmets. Windripper for almost all bow users etc.

This has been an ongoing process even without the addition of new craftable mods. Without it, the game would stagnate and die.

But it would be nice if you could find that quote, since alot of us never seem to have heard it.
