You're rushing a little there. For now, the "Level Up" gear removal is mere speculation (unless you have written proof of it).
I don't think they'll be removing them right now(at least not without giving a hint first like for the primes), but you won't have access to it later when creating newer characters. If you don't want it to go and have level up gear for all your characters, go create as many accounts as you want to, assuming you can play constantly on all of those within a six month span. You'd keep them if they didn't remove anything.
And even if they did remove them, you'd lose your gear on all the accounts, meaning you won't be using them. So in a few months they'll be erased anyway (kinda feel sorry for those who actually have to code that though).
Also, assuming they'll be removed later, a full month was given to you to level up your "new" character. Now the game has to go back to how it was. Level Up gear wasn't made for newer players to rush through the game. It is made so that older players/vets could get back to where they were before. Now that a month has passed and many players did exactly that, it's time to get back to how it was. (S) gear grinding (just saying that makes me wanna puke, but it's "better" than level up gear for fresh new players).
Hakusen : Judgment 200 (Still mad about that 198 > 197 rollback though.) KisekiKuroi : BA 189 Makimoke : Will be BM 200 / SD 140 at end of event!
If you need help or want to talk, I'll be glad to oblige.
