Wow do people seriously not understand how expansion games work? A lot of people seem to compare this game to mmos so ill do it here. When you release an expansion for an mmo things tend to happen: -level cap increases -new gear/weapons become available that have better stats than the ones before making old ones irrelevant. -new content; places to explore, raids, dungeons (strikes on this case), new weapons/armor that are unique to the expansion -added game types and maps for pvp playlists When World of Warcraft gets a new expansion you don't see the forums blowing up saying "omg the last year or so was a waste of time because I can use my current stuff?!". They actually embrace the new things because if you enjoy the game you want it to be fun and new again which is the point of an expansion. The differences between actual mmos and Destiny is that most of then have a "transmogrification" system that allows you to use the visuals of a piece of gear on your character without sacrificing the stats of the gear you are wearing or want to wear. There storage systems are more vast allowing you to store more items so in case you want to transmog something you'll have enough space to store a piece of gear or weapon that is 10 levels below you. So if you're complaining about your "grind" being a waste of time is this; it was. In the end you are the making the game fun. If all you do is play and grind while not enjoying it whats the point of even playing? Yeah it's gonna suck not being able to use your old weapons and armor in PvE but there will be plenty of new and cools ones to get. They haven't mentioned changing crucible so at the moment you'll be able to use your old gear in crucible without being at a disadvantage. Who knows, maybe they will have a system that will be like "transmogging". I have enjoyed all the time I've spent playing destiny and can't wait for all these new changes. Get over the fact that you can't upgrade old stuff and thank them for actually making old stuff useful in the past 2 dlc's because mmos never do that.
