With the upcoming expansion, there has been a lot of speculation and questions regarding how certain aspects of the game will be handled. A poster brought up a valid issue on high end gear and how quickly it will become outdated once KoS hits. Moorgard jumped in to share his thoughts and ease concerns:

The crafted armor and weapons that can be made from rare harvests in DoF now, to put it simply, are too good. And yes, that fact ended up hurting the expected progression from raid content in the original game to raid stuff in the expansion, because stuff became obsolete too quickly. Going back and nerfing the level 50+ crafted isn't an option anymore, since way too many players have it. So we have rightfully taken some lumps as a result, and many of you are worried that the same thing will happen again.

As always, we love it when Devs address such issues, and take the time to let the playerbase know that they are on top of things. Take a peek at what Moorgard has to say here, on armor and weapon upgrades in the next expansion.
