It would not be wise to compare this to WoW as ALL of the old gear from previous expansions(at the time of my playing it) were still available via old vendors that remained in the game and old heroic level strikes that remained accessible to all who hadn't purchased the new content. There are only the current static vendors in the tower and reef. These vendors HAVE lost old gear due to expansion update and rotation via removal of the old gear. In WoW, when I was playing, this didn't happen. I can understand people being salty at not being able to play activities they thought they bought at launch such as weeklies and nightfalls. That is legitimate. As MMOs go, it's normal for new gear to appear, but you're going to upset many people if you remove access to the gear they bought during the last expansion which is exactly what happens when you have static vendors who only carry gear from the new expansion. If these same vendors had retained all their old gear, or new vendors were added instead of replacing gear from old vendors, then this wouldn't be a problem.
