Hard modes are really master pieces, of course when you farm them for 3 years, at some point, you might get bored of it.
But even if they keep being enjoyable for just one year, i think it's already an obvious sign of their unmatched quality in terms of game content.
And DS items are not crappy at all, they are definitely insanely good, and when you look at what's coming with the next dungeon, i think it is without question khitan epic equivalent, even better in certain situation, which put those new items, even the blue ones, not far being T4 for specific purpose.
Nothing to complain about imho.
All in all, no worries, AoC is a very good and accessible game.
