A101 - A103s especially will continue to get more scarce as players quit and leave them in storage, for them to be TT'd when their accounts are wiped.
Only screws the new guys over (never a good idea to do this with a MMORPG)

It really complicates things from a balancing perspective. The new (L) amps aren't nearly as eco, nor are BLP or melee weapons. Without the A-series amps, the majority of hunters would be at about the same economy, and thus less general disgruntlement. The way i would deal with this if i were
MA is to secretly buy back a lot of the amps (maybe with the proceeds of a few high damage but less eco new amps they could auction off), and increase the level of mobs and new weapons (and amps) to eventually marginalize the old stuff.
If the average HP and regen of mobs was twice what it is now, the A-series would be less relevant. Doubly so if there were bigger unlimited Shear amps dropping now and then.
