Tankdan, defiant gear will not be around. They are going to scale everything back to the original content as much as possible. The only exception I have seen thus far is that the starting races may have the expanded class options (except for classes released with expansions, i.e. Beastlord with Luclin etc.) So then a Halfling may be able to start out as a ranger or paladin let's say but a wood elf could not be a beastlord until Luclin became available.
As far as I can tell, items will even be available until a certain period like manastones, rubicite, etc. and pre-nerfed items. Also, tradeskill recipes are supposed to be content relevant as well.
