That the day The Taken King releases.
All that gear your grinded for for hours on end and worked hard to get is becoming useless.
All that ascending for nothing.
Thanks Bungie. I'm cancelling my pre-order.
This is just pathetic.
[b]We're getting remodelled weapons with different names and colours.
Devil You Know and Revelator have same base stats.
Red Hand IX and Lone.Rebel have same base stats.
Deadshot Luna SR1 and B-Line Trauma have same stats.
I'm so happy to dismantle my favourites for identical overall base stats DUPLICATES.
Everything will continue to be the same.
Yes "move on" to "better weapons".
All that changes are the name, colour and a slight adjustment to the models.. The attack value goes up.
Yet THE BASE STATS WILL DUPLICATE.[/b]
Edit: Yes this is my first MMO.
Yes I love the weapons I am currently using.
Yes I love playing Destiny, gameplay is incredible.
Yes I will complain when things piss me off.
Edit 2:
This is an MMO.
This isn't an MMO.
I really couldn't care less about the genre.
Edit 3: If you're happy spending money for your weapons, that you worked hard for, to become obsolete then good for you.
I chase the weapons. You may chase armor, grimoire, experience or enjoy doing the same thing week in week out.
Insults don't affect me, in fact it shows how low your intellect is.
"They said wait" they shouldn't have to.
They shouldn't let people jump to conclusions.
They shouldn't let misinformation be released.
Edit 4: unlike the majority. I rarely use my fatebringer.
Final Edit: After reading many constructive replies and having checked in on Destiny today. I've decided I'm going to have to line up all my weapons and start cutting them out. Keeping all exotics and useful crucible weapons and those I consider to be useful.

Dont mind so much, except the "window" for anything is pretty short. I'm still grinding for Black Hammer, Hunger of Crota, Necrochasm and Gjallarhorn. But even if they drop today (and I'm betting they won't), I'll barely have time to level them before they're useless. Sure, old weapons become irrelevant, that's what an MMO is about. But could I maybe have them become irrelevant *after* I get them, not before? If I don't buy TTK, it won't matter; all my year 1 gear still becomes irrelevant. I would have thought ina "Development Path" MMO style gear and character levelling game, your weapons would be relevant while you are the appropriate level for them, in the same way that I kept the lowest level decent Sniper rifle I found for my 2nd and 3rd characters to use. But it's not that the Vault or Crota gear and weapons are the stepping-stones to the new highest level content, it's that they are completely irrelevant, and nobody will ever want them again. It's practically an encouragement to stop playing until TTK.
