I went almost a year without it, I can go 9 more years without it too. The whole point of a game like this is for it to evolve and progress and change. I never expected to be using year one weapons all ten years, and I never wanted to either. Does that mean I won't miss some old weapons? No, I'll always love my VoC. However, I'm ready and willing to leave the old weapons behind and find out what new and better weapons might be waiting for me in future expansions. Also, it's not as if these older weapons won't still be relevant. I'm sure most of us will still be making trips into the Vault or taking on Crota in year two and maybe beyond. When we do, I will be taking along my old raid weapons to face our old foes.
