All the comic is talking about is apple re-releases their products pretty often so your old stuff is "worthless"

Think of it in maple

beta: evil wings, 60% scrolls

Later, 30% scrolls

Later chaos and white scrolls and more attack-based gear

Now, potentials and pam's songs and vip weapons

Nexon pretty much keeps making your older gear useless for the competetive scene of maple. Same thing apple's doing except it's more of "Great now i'm not in the latest trend and this sucks"
