The borderlands one cant be applied to this. i could get any weapon in that game at 1 -30 or op 8 if i felt like it - any gun i found could be at any level i wanted, just had to find it again. Destiny isnt anything like that.

Regardless of weapon name, you have to find new gear for the new level cap. Deck yourself out in level 50 stuff in Borderlands and then in 2 months time, you have to farm for more weapons for your new level 61 level cap.

yeah, but i could still have the same Gear. Legendaries and pearlescents are equivalent to legendaries and exotics here (or maybe seraph and pearlescents? idk.) and i could have that double penetrating unkempt harold, i could have that pumpernil, that norfleet, that infinity, that thunderball fist, (Hell, im not gonna start on the other stuff we equip thats NOT a gun) - all as strong as i wanted. Here? we dont get the choice to go find our old gear at better levels. We have to give it up. I would be super friggin pissed at Gearbox if the ymade me abandon my vanilla borderlands 2 guns for pirates booty, do it again for torgue, again for hammerlocks dlc, AND AGAIN for tiny tinas. Supremely so, as would many others who played Borderlands 2.

And at least the grind for borderlands 2 can say it was more open world than Destiny. Larger areas, Real area bosses you needed a currency just to have a chance at them, and a secret "world" boss from varkids.
