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.

Dont collectors usually not use their antiques?
