You don't need new zones to have new content. What's IN the zones can change, drastically (even without sandboxing). This has a carry-over effect to equipment - if zones/encounters are constantly changing, then it means you need different modifications on your gear to constantly have the 100% best setup for an encounter, which means players will constantly be seeking out a larger pool of gear to keep in their bank and face any given encounter with.
Also, actually, a lot of people don't like needing to change the look of their gear and are very happy with creating an individual look that they find most appealing and can use for years. Like if Bards could always wear Lambent armor, and just had a dozen different sets of Lambent armor with different stat mods, a lot of people would enjoy that the most.

oh my... Who are these people?! I like gear options but many games go overboard with the multiple sets of resist gear. EQ was good for a bit with just the need for resist jewelry
But the SAME item look forever? I think the best part about MMOs is either showing off your gear or seeing someone else with some amazing item you would dream about getting.
Also, I look at games as works of art. At some point you have to stop adding to it and just say, its done. That can be hard to do.
