Classic->Kunark->Velious and even ->Luclin didn't make very large leaps in terms of gear stats especially tradeable non-raid. PoP was the first to really break the viability of the gear from any particular era and even then it was all mostly still used as Twink gear. Hell to this DAY some of the shit from Kunark/Velious is good or even great twink gear. That's in an era with fucking Defiant armor.
Long story short, items will be far from outdated when Velious drops don't worry.
