So I, like many others decided to come back and give WS another shot after following the bandwagon to another game when population started dropping. Upon logging in, i had no issues getting on my last played character (yay).
 
Where i got mildly annoyed is when i noticed that half of my character's gear was now gone, along with all the runes i had equipped, and all the rune slots i had added onto it a while back, then i noticed that stats are not the same anymore, and now i have to go through 65+ mails to get a bunch of costume items that i already had... yawn.
 
This might seem trivial and it probably is, but at the same time this is the first contact that i have had with the game in quite some time and it all feels very clunky and confusing. Sure, i'll look up the new updated class guides and re-gear my character but i'm kinda sad to see perfectly good gear i had maxed out previously now gone.
 
My 2c.

Yea, i agree - it was quite overwhelming having so many mails, pieces of gear missing and things like that. I decided that i'd rather roll another toon and slowly rediscover what all the new runes were about over time than jumping into it with the new stats and other pieces that have changed over the last few months.
 
For new players it seems really simple to pick up runes but for returning players it does seem verrry confusing =D

I only started the game a couple months ago, so I can only try to relate when it comes to gear and all of the emails. I did experience something similar on WoW...it was very discouraging to figure everything out again...
 
But I know people were fuming about their plots getting all messed up due to the size increase ;p

You should have received tokens for your missing gear, inside one of those emails. You can take the tokens to an NPC in your capital city and craft new items to replace the old ones. You also havet he benefit of being able to choose the stats on your new items.

This lvl 50 aurin stalker in my profile pic has been just as confused as you, hence i started anew! lots of changes to equipment that i need to slowly ingest.\
 
 
Now everyone shall fear the Old Man!

			Yeah, it's probably obvious to most people but make sure you notice the slider on the bottom right of the crafting screen so swap between assault/support power as I managed to craft 2 of my gear replacements with support stats but assault power before I realised I was being an idiot....sad times
