[quote]Because then players would[n't] grind as much to get new gear.[/quote] But even that's wrong, haha! Whether I'm infusing a Year 2 weapon to max level, or a Year 1 weapon to max level, I would still have to grind through the [i]exact same steps.[/i] if I wanted [i]either[/i] weapon at 310, I'd need a 310 item to infuse them with [i]either way![/i] You know? (Actually, if you wanna get down to specifics, it would actually take me [i]more[/i] gear to Infuse a 170 weapon up to max level, so, oddly enough, the reality is that Infusing Year 1 gear would take MORE grinding than anything in Year 2. So, there's that.) ;)
