Some of us guardians spend dozens, if not a few hundreds, of motes of light getting our perfect personal rolls on Iron Banner weaponry, and it feels like a waste when every expansion is released. I feel like there should be a way to upgrade their damage without affecting the perks. If it's not implemented, I don't feel like competing in any more of this events. Even if it is as restrictive (which I hope it isn't) as an only rank5 with the guns from the vendor, it would motivate me to play Iron Banners (or even the whole game after the first weeks) in the later expansions.
Please like and comment to catch Bunjie's eye. :)
Edit: Random armor drops would be nice too. Added hashtags.
Edit2: This doesn't include light level on armor, and this doesn't mean just updating them for no reason, there should still be need for competing in the Iron Banners.

I don't see the point. The weapons are for pvp. If you already have the weapon it will be exactly the same in normal crucible. There will be no reason to do IB if you have the weapons already. If you are using them for pve, you should have to regrind like the rest of us in the raids.

I like all the IB weapons and I dont even mind the crucible/PvP part of the Iron Banner, but the part I hate most is the glimmer grind to buy all the weapons and armor. What about a compromise so that we have to play the IB to a certain rank to be able to "upgrade" our old weapons and/or armor. Since the weapons always required a higher rank to purchase, what about playing the HoW DLC Iron Banner to rank 5 to unlock the ability to "upgrade" our older 331 ATK IB weapons to the new ATK value. And rank 4 IB to unlock the ability to purchase the upgrades to our armor. That way it doesnt let us by pass playing the newer iterations of IB altogether, but eliminates the glimmer grind of having to re-purchase weapons/armor.

Yea! Raid weapons too!

Why? Why make this stupid easy and still have to work for everything else? I don't mind working for the stuff in IB, it's special and should take time and effort to acquire. This would basically be giving it away for free, you just have to get it once then your done? Nah, I'm happy to compete in IB after another expansion comes out, and re-earn my weapons and armor. And, in all honesty it doesn't take that long to level to rank 5. Spend the glimmer on the shader, emblem, and class item, and go to town :)

Won't happen because bungie wants people to keep doing iron banner. If they let people upgrade their old weapons to new attack then there wouldn't be a point to grind through ranks again after an expansion comes out.

Yes update.

I voted yes. To the people saying "attack doesn't matter in regular Crucible" - you are correct. But we're talking about the mother-blam!-ing Iron Banner, where attack DOES matter.

I have been using it every second that I play because I constantly fear that it will become irrelevant, which is now my worst fear. I certainly will be discouraged from participating in future IB events if I can't bring this baby with me

Attack ratings don't matter in regular crusible.
-
They need some sort of attack upgrade. It's such a waste of motes treating them like regular legendaries.

No because carrot

Look, if i would use a gun such as corrective measure, fatebringer, predeths revenge VoC, i could still wreck people in pvp. Attack stats dont matter in pvp anyway
