In wow the battle axe you replace your old one with is almost functionally identical to your old one. One click feels just like any other click as you build your character up with bigger numbers and more abilities.
In a SHOOTER (which is what destiny's gameplay is based on) weapon stats directly inform how that weapon handles. Rate of fire, accuracy, clip size, stability, they all modify gameplay. If you replace one pistol with another type of pistol you remove the playstyle that first pistol favored. The second pistol may have bigger numbers but it doesn't translate to identical gameplay.
Therefore, making guns obsolete in Destiny has wildly different consequences than[i] a mouse based RPG[/i]. It just replaces one sandbox with a completely analogous one with [i]no [/i]clear benefit to balance or gameplay structure (completely wasting the opportunity to build something [i]bigger [/i]out of the parts bungie has available to it.)
Its a stupid decision for Bungie to make. They'll still make it (unless they're willing to pull yet another U-turn on their "artistic vision") but as you say there's more coming out. The industry will not implode as Bungie rises up to face plant [i]again[/i]. It's just not good for this game or its developer (so[i] on its forums [/i]there's much to say about it).
