Can't be that hard to upgrade cove items. Take the lvl 20 item, copy the file, add +1 to the item enhancement plus an augment slot and there you go, 24th lvl item. Hell, you could probably write a script to do it for all items at once.
According to them it seems to be harder than that... they can't just copy the items and add things...
( I wish they could, like in the Aurora Toolset )
And basically they will have to recreate from scratch new items for Epic levels.
Now, in all honesty, it sounds like an excuse for not doing anything for the time being.
I've come to the conclusion that the curent crop of Devs in DDO do not want to look at anything from the past.
That means that they do not want to extend on old things ( phat luck here on seeing the two other teleporter options in the 12 to be filled by something ), they do not want to come near any bit of old code ( they fear it might break under their gaze ), and they want to leave a legacy that looks good on their resume ( new system changes ) by eventually scrapping an old half finished system for a new half finished system.
