We were not even talking about rating, or what level of gear you could get with higher rating. We were just talking about the fact that they used to upgrade the vendors with the new season, with higher level gear.
At this point it just seems like you are disagreeing just to disagree. Funny part is, you are disagreeing with something I wasn’t even talking about lol.
And who cares if they have to tend a couple of more vendors every season? It isn’t like it would be something they had to do daily, weekly or even monthly.
