I want to know if the old trial gear will become worse than gear added in imperial city as it will be two levels below level cap making all the set bonuses have lower values.
I guess because of GEAR. Having these instances scale to VR16 implies that dropped / reward gear is also VR16. For DSA that means VR16 master weapons. I guess ZOS would want us to fight long for the new stuff in IC first, instead of simply getting good old same master weapons at VR16 in good old fashion by farming DSA *again*.
For trial gear, these sets need a complete overhaul anyway, they've been obsolete since 1.6 .
Last but not least, mechanics in DSA and trials are more complicated and sophisticated than in Vet Dungeons and they have never scaled. Having them scaled to group leader would require extensive testing first. Having them scaled to a "fixed" VR16 level would force players to grind to VR16 *before* doing this content and would probably create justified player rebellion.
VR15-VR16 level content is IC and nothing else for now apart from undaunted pledges and dungeons.
For course that's my guess, I'm not ZOS' voice.
