And an adequate response from someone who looks more and more like a troll for each post...
EDIT: I just dont see what your problem is, everyones gear will be moved back a slight notch so no one will suddenly be stronger then you, the overall balance remains the same. The only real difference is that the next tier set will not be absolute godmode compared to new r40s (they will still likely be stomped unless they are really good in a 1vs1 though). So no worries, its for the good of us all.
