I get on the pts a lot, I like to test and what not, and Ive been here a long while and so have a lot of people, but I think sometimes we forgot what it is like to be completely new to the game.



I am sorry that you guys feel ripped off, and I agree with Charlice 100% that for those who spent real money on the gear yesterday should be upgraded to freelancer, the merc gear should have not been sold for real cash knowing the update was coming. As far as those of you who have spent favor to get the gear, I know it sucks but it really has been this way for years.



I know that doesn't help you, but try and look it at from a different point of view. If you all did get the gear automatically upgraded that would be a huge slap to the face for those of us who have been playing for years and having the first set retired without any compensation. Sometimes the timing just sucks and I know it can be upsetting and I really hope its made more obvious to new players that when new pvp ranks are coming it means the first tier of current pvp gear is about to be retired.
