Has there been anything (official) said with regards to any plans to release the next set of legendary weapons and or gear?
I’m just wondering because I’m working on mine right now, but I have a bad feeling that when I get it, I’m going to be like “YES! okay…now I don’t have anything to work towards”.
I think EQ did a really great job of always providing new expansions and even their Epic 2.0 weapons to keep giving players something “epic” to work towards.

not sure I understand your question – I’m just saying I like being excited at working towards something, which is why I think the legendary weapons are a really great concept. I just hope there is something planned to keep those who attain/have already attained their Legendaries interested, and something new for them to work towards.

My theory is that we will keep the legends we have now, and when they introduce new weaponsets they will have “New Legendary Skins”.
“Do you know if there are currently any plans to add new weapon types to the game in the future, be it in a distant update or even a later expansion, or is this something that you plan to avoid?
Jonathan: This is something that we definitely want to do. As a lot of people on the forums have picked up, the system is pretty much designed to do exactly this. For instance, you can just give one of the classes a new weapon and all of a sudden they have a complete new way to play the class that interacts with the utilities, the heals, the elites, and the profession abilities. But it’s one of those things that we want to wait on until the time is right. We still feel like there’s some work to be done on the traits for all of the classes and getting those up to par. And again, going back to what we talked about in the first question about making sure that everybody has a lot of viable builds – we want to make sure that that’s the case. Once we feel like that has settled down and everything’s got a really good feel to it, then we can start talking about adding new weapons. "

I hope they come up with a new batch of legendaries before the end of the year. Truth is while we have one for each weapon type each of the weapons is fairly distinct, and with the huge effort involved I’m not going to make one I dont find appealing. So I want to put in the effort but the selection currently available just doesnt fit my the style of my characters mostly.
I know how you feel, I got the Dreamer, and Bolt because I think they look really nice. I personally don’t like the way the incinerator looks, so I am hoping for new Legendary Daggers, & while I wait I am working on Quip.

I agree with you OllllO, I personally don’t like the way a few of the legendary’s look. I’m not saying that I think they should introduce new legendaries because some people dont’ like the current ones, but I think that adding a new set once the current sub base has had enough time to attain 1-2 “Legendary 1.0’s” makes sense – always keep people wanting the next big thing!
