Returning player looking for some input on changes that have happened over the past months. To begin, I am not furious about the nature of the changes, but something else that seems to be overlooked in the long run. Maxing a build can be a time sink that many of us who are dedicated to a game will invest in and with this being said, many of the changes happening are discrediting older members by destroying the worth of their guns. In many MMORPG type games we see this in character class trees being changed, spells being reworked, and entire systems being added or removed. To compensate for these type of changes we see companies giving back to those in the community who have worked hard on anything related to said changes. This in general is done to make sure the player does not feel he has wasted his time. In Destiny however we do not see these compensations. What is Destiny but a glorified FPS MMORPG?[u] So my question to the community is, do you think we should have a system in place to compensate for changes to baseline legendary guns?[/u] More the less, should we not receive the motes we invested into our guns because of such changes? A good yet bad example of this can be seen in one of the more recent changes announced, the final round for snipers. Many players spent a good bit of motes to max out their favorite gun. Yes, final round needed to be changed, but to be replaced by a worthless perk has made all of our time look to be wasted. This can be said with any other gun that we spent time grinding for, buying, or rerolling, just to see it end up in the scrap yard.
Probably going to stick around for a while, but I do hope changes happen that compensate for such time losses. This is not the only time loss that can be seen concerning Destiny. In idea we have lost hundreds of hours as players who have played this since release.

Not if they keep making things obsolete.
