Or maybe, just look at the new guns, its not like you can expect anything to be purely the same game after game. Its always going to change, and it will change more and more. You cannot stick with the same gear forever. Its like if someone got Street Fighter, yet only always played as Ryu, again and again and again, never trying out anyone else. Ryu you can always expect to be easy to understand and use, but when they find a focus with him, he wont change much. And thats not good, it kinda makes him stale to many. Its the same with legendaries in pokemon, the super powered guys, mainly the uber class like Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, Arceus, some of the strongest and highest base stat pokemon ever. Yet they can sweep the floor with most others, hardly any others have movesets and abilites to reach this status. But for all purposes, the legendaries are banned in most competitive play, because they are so powerful Its like, if you transfered in all your legendaries, take Mewtwo everywhere, what point is there in the game then? That reduces the enjoyment with nothing more than a pure baby mode to an already easy game anyone can beat. Part of the fun in that game is taking the old with the new, the older gen guys with the newer ones, and melding the available powers and abilities in a varity of ways to find a unique and good guy on your own, mainly with breeding, but its the same thing here, finding the right weapon that suits you, this is what the loot portion of the game is about. Take the loot portion out of destiny, why bother with new gear? See, thats why this entire thread is a joke. The game is about finding gear to personalize your style, this is why players are encouraged to find and eventually customize their own set to their preferences. But if you had the ability to do it all the time, just carry what you already have and set it in stone, never changing, then by right, you see someone using new weapons and abilities that may just outclass yours, even if you could ascend older gear, then these people by right cannot complain if a superior version of the vision of confluence or fatebringer were to appear. Its about finding loot, take away that aspect then what is destiny but just another shooter where you have your stuff and just say, "meh lets shoot stuff?" Finding stuff is part of the experience. Thats what an RPG of any design has.
