The problem with making Legendaries Obsolete.

I am a collector at heart. I am sentimental. I want to collect the new weapons. But i want my old weapons to be relevant. The VAULT OF GLASS is no small feat in terms of lore. Neither was the killing of Crota, an apparent god. To take those rewards and level them up. Then pull them from your vault to apply Etheric Light that you worked for... only to have them tossed in the trash because three months later there's some newer stuff? What's the point in using Etheric Light at all? What is the point in getting it? What is the point in taking a 300 Vision of Confluence and upgrading it to 365? There is no point. Because they will all be obsolete. So the entirety of HoW was just a waste of time. That is a giant kick in the nuts to those who have been here since the beginning. And some kid who just bought the collectors edition can breeze up through to the best gear, skipping all of the raids and not requiring the etheric light or shards. I had a list of things i wanted to collect. All of the different raid gear for each class. All of the exotics, all of the weapons i thought looked cool etc etc. The main point: Playing Destiny right now has almost no point to it unless it is for the pure enjoyment of doing it with friends... and a good few of us dont play with friends constantly. Everything Destiny is right now is obtaining gear or gathering materials to increase the weapons/gears power. Which is pointless because it will be to NO PURPOSEFUL END. And to anyone saying Destiny is an MMO. You're wrong. It has SOME features similar to an mmorpg. But thus far... they have made it so we can bring our beloved weapons that we spent so much time progressing with us along our journey. Most mmorpgs dont require you to level up your own gear. Most mmorpgs dont require you to change the method of how you progress multiple times.

  • Nobody's forced you to lvl up all that gear, it was your choice. Most content can be beaten with sub 365 legendary guns or a couple of exotics. Both raids are pretty trivial challenges, the only real challenges I would say now are skolas and trials. Bungie put ascending in as an option, not a necessity. They are now putting a different option in place, that's all. And don't forget, ever since ascension came in, it all ways said "the highest available in year one." That was a big clue that something else could come along. (It's part of some of these types of games.) They also haven't said the guns will be useless, just that you can't improve them further.
