Yeah I understand this to a certain degree. I truly believe Bungie could make everyone happy by allowing us to ascend older weapons like fatebringer but make slightly better weapons as a replacement thus leaving the choice on the player whether or not to use old weapons. Don't see why this isn't happening.

You never know I guess, there was that post from Cozmo about 'not deleting our old weapons' but I'm not sure. I'm on both sides of the fence in a way. I hope there's better weapons, and a bigger pool of viable options to choose from. I'd quite like a tougher VoG and C.E, maybe a level above us, keeps the old raids viable and a chance at dropping higher levels of the weapons we own, but I doubt it'll ever happen, as it contradicts what I said in the first place lol.
