Hello TI,
I figured since WOD is approaching with each passing day, it might be a good idea to start making threads (possibly stickied threads) for each bracket that list any soon to be removed items/enchants that will be important to have come WOD. Transitioning into Cata from WoTLK was pretty awful for brackets like 19 and 29, and I think it'd be awesome to minimize losses by helping people stock up on gear and enchants that will be become grandfathered in the next expansion.
Considering that stats will be changed on many items, it's also important to note that some items that are bad now, and may also be on the list of soon to be removed items, will end up becoming bis in the future. Also, I heard that Blizzard is revamping some more of the older instances (I believe Black Rock Spire was one). I'm assuming this means, like Scarlet Monastery and Shadowfang Keep before it, the old gear will be removed and replaced with new gear.
That said, it's probably a good idea to start studying up on what's going to be gone next expansion. Anyone who's had twinks in the lower brackets during the Cata launch will know how it feels to wake up the morning after the first patch of the expansion to find out gear from X dungeon or X quest are no longer available in the game. Look at it this way, more players with better gear means a more even playing field for both sides.
