Do you even MMORPG??? There is ALWAYS going to be something better than previous gear with new updates. Just about every game does this, otherwise things become old, boring and pointless so people quit. If everything always has the same stats and nothing is ever better then how are you supposed to make the game progress and kill harder bosses? Warden used to be the best armour in the game and now it's junk and only used to get to the other quest items.
The whole point of this is why they make quest gear extremely hard to get if they're going to just sell it at a shop the following update.
"Become old" - We've sat at this boss for about half our in game time last update, it's no surprise people quit. And you're acting like people aren't quitting now with the way things are. It's remarkable.
