Dear Developers: Why did you vaporize the value of my money and time?

@Switch made a great point in another discussion:

@Switch

Getting gear up from 45 to 50 under the old system was a huge investment of time and resources. But better gear was the promise/guarantee made for that investment.

After conversion, the “absolute” value of that investment was nullified. Someone with a level-45-mythic received the same “compensation” as someone with a level-50-mythic.

Aeon is rightly frustrated by this decision … as it took away the value of his efforts and showed a remarkable disrespect for the game’s implicit guarantees and the players’ investment.

Not because there’s better stuff to get now, but because what he had was made worse. His expensive level-50-mythics reduced to the level of the cheaper level-45-mythics.

Development Team et al. (@Jeto @Kafka @Mother_Morgz), could we kindly get a response and rationale from the Developers regarding this problem?
