JLoco11 absolutely nailed it: [i]"Simple math when it comes to guns: We have 126 spaces total for weapons. 28 known exotics (27 collectible right now since Fate of All Fools hasn't released to the public) 9 VoG guns 9 Crota guns 9 Arena guns 9 Trials of Osiris Guns 9 Current Queen guns 9 Iron Banner Guns 2 story/collectible weapons (Strangers Call, Murmur) that you could only get 1 time. 1 story collectible you can buy any time (Vestian Sidearm) There were 27 Vanguard weapons total There were 27 Crucible Quartermaster weapons total There are 12 guns that could drop in the Crucible now as an after game reward There were/are a total of 9 Faction weapons per faction for a total of 27 guns. The first Queen's Wrath event had 9 potential guns, but the event was only seen from 1 time. That's 187+ POTENTIAL Legendary or Exotic weapons someone could have collected. Obviously we don't need ALL of those and the majority would be dismantled, but considering how Bungie changes gun balance, which alters a set of weapons, it's a big reason why people will keep guns around. Remember how great the SUROS was? Remember how bad the Thorn & Bad Juju were? Remember when the 4th Horseman was useless, until people showed what it could do against Skolas during Arc Burn week? Remember when Fusion rifles ruled the crucible? Remember when the Fatebringer and Vision were stuck at 300 damage and people got rid of them for the Fang? Remember when Shotguns were pointless in PvE? Remember the Mythoclast being "stuck in time"? Or how many times changes to Fusion rifles inadvertently affected it? Have you rolled a Spear with Final Round since HoW? Nope Have you rolled a Felwinters Lie with Hammer Forged? Can't Will you ever get the Strangers Rifle from the game if you deleted it? Not unless you start a brand new character How many times did you run VoG to get a Foil/Fatebringer? How many Crota's did you kill to get a Crux? How long did it take for the Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo or 4th Horseman to drop as a PS exclusive? Could you afford to upgrade all your exotics when Xur was in the Tower for the Dark Below? And to suggest that because we don't use these, we should get rid of it? You played countless hours in a raid (the best game mode in the game), only to be told sacrifices have to be made? Just because the Auto Rifle nerf makes the Abyss Defiant less powerful, I should get rid of it? No, no, no. The stories Guardians could tell of how they earned their weapons, could probably trump the lack of story Destiny told us. We need vault space, because Bungie's weapon balancing always shifts the power to different weapons. Sure, let's dismantle the Red Death... only to see it buffed into a monster. Let's dismantle that Truth because the Ghorn destroys it... only to see how well it tracks in PvP. How about getting rid of that pre HoW gun because you can't roll it to perfection even though it has better stats than current weapons. If Guardians really wanted to make "a hard choice", they will just play something else."[/i]
