I am coming back from a hiatus during which I played mmos with horizontal progression which is essentially the extreme of this; that no new gear "replaces" old gear, but is added as an alternative. This means that there's always a ton of ways to play, content to farm, and gear to choose from.
This idea of content adding rather than replacing is also present in other vertical mmos and imo would be a big improvement to AL if they put in the work to balance for it.
