I'd have to disagree with you there. I have maxed out my levels, and hardly feel any need to continue playing now because improving equipment now feels just about as difficult as leveling used to. It's really tedious, and not fun at all.

Players like to feel a sense of achievement, and slowing that down substantially will not make players want to play for a longer period of time. I understand that you like the idea of fully improved items staying rare, but once they get to +12 the value of them jumps up to the point where they are almost untradeable, both from a buying and selling standpoint.

That's kind of the point, though. You're supposed to work on getting stronger so you can be more evenly matched with other players. Even if everyone playing were maxed out right now, the combat system will still ensure that one person will come out on top based on their skill, rather than stats.
