Question Regarding Mythic Helm's/Arcane Hooks & The Next Lvl Expansion

[gundamsone]

Correct me if i'm wrong but the mythic helms we currently have will stay at level 26 when the next cap is introduced right?
If this is the case then I see a really big problem & i'll name just a few.

We know that STS plans to introduce mythic armors in next level cap and based on the current market:
1. Most player can't afford to even save enough gold for 1 piece in a season yet alone 2.
2. Those who did purchase or are planning to purchase a mythic helm for this season will probably have spent a good chunk of their cash which means they will have to save all over again for the upcoming season.

I am not suggesting that these things scale up for a number of reasons and i'm also against increasing it's drop rate, so below I have a simple solution to thiss.
When the 31 cap comes, have an NPC in town that lets players "exchange" their mythic helm or arcane hooks for a scaled up l31 version.

This gives those who wish to continue with endgame a fair chance to complete the set they worked so hard for and also lets those who wish to stay at l26 keep their precious item.

ik that Sam said the Arcane Weapons will scale, but they havnt answered me about the helms......

As far as I understood they were already planning something like what you suggested here.

I remember reading a dev post about how helms and armor would be convertable into a top (vanity with stats?) set.

I definitely don't think they would let the mythic items become useless.

I believe dev's can't give a definite answer on this is because of merchers and hoarders.
Look at slicing flintlocks, I had a pair the day before a dev posted an upcomming buff on them. Couldn't sell the pair for 100k gold and the next day they get bought out and hit 1-2m.

The player base is small compared to a typical mmo so these rare sought out items have very little supply and can be bought out and manipulated easily.
