Infusion seems like a great idea, but it isn't implemented properly. From what we've seen in the reveal all legendary and exotic weapons in year 2 are level 280 (does this mean that infusion won't even work until the next expansion?).
You say you listen to your fanbase... Well here's what I propose:
[b]Allow infusion on all year 1 legendary weapons (or at the very least the end game activity legendary weapons from Vault of Glass, Crota's End, Iron Banner, and Trials of Osiris).[/b]
This way it would be our choice if we want to infuse a year 1 weapon or a year 2 weapon. [b]Give the choice to the player - make us Legend.[/b]
All right Destiny community, cast your vote and bump.
[b]EDIT 1:[/b] Appears to be about 2/3rds of the community that is in favor of allowing infusion on year 1 weapons. To put into monetary terms Bungie and Activision can understand - that is approximately 2/3rds of your fans that will be unhappy with your product if this isn't changed - last I heard there were about 10 million Destiny players so this is over 6 million players. This seems a pretty bad design decision at a time when many other AAA games are hitting the market - without name dropping any games, I think we can all agree that the Destiny playerbase will drop this fall when certain new games release. By making decisions that will push many gamers away from Destiny at a time like this they may never come back.
[b]EDIT 2:[/b] The voting results seem to be fluctuating between 2/3rds and 3/5ths in favor of allowing optional infusion on year 1 legedary weapons.
[b]EDIT 3:[/b] A new idea occurred to me. All I want is the option to upgrade my favorite legendary weapons from year 1 - The Scholar (Adept), Efrideet's Spear, Timur's Lash, Fatebringer, etc. They could add this feature in a way that made it so hard to do that most players wouldn't even attempt it and I would be happy - [b]say a quest line where you need to kill 50 strike bosses with the weapon, then kill 1000 guardians in the Crucible with the weapon, etc. At least then I'd still have the option and the game wouldn't be flooded with thousands of ascended year 1 weapons the first day of TTK.[/b] It really should be about player choice. If I want to be able to use The Scholar (Adept) I should be able to.
[b]Edit 4:[/b] I played 2.0 last night and it was the worst experience I've ever had in Destiny. Everything I ever loved about the game was totally broken in PvE. They've trashed PvE to try and balance PvP. The massive nerfs to Perfect Balance and Field Scout have totally broken every weapon that uses either perk. The only thing they ever had going for them was the gameplay which they just completely screwed up. All they needed to do was give us new good weapons, not make everything in the game total trash. They've completely killed the game for me - it isn't even fun anymore. The only reason I ever played Destiny over other shooters was the perks on the weapons - it was the only thing that separated it from Halo, CoD, or Battlefield.

Edited by MrNICEguy13b: 9/3/2015 3:47:16 PMNo offense Royolution, but we paid for the end game items and weapons, most of which will be useless after the taken King launches. I'm sure plenty of players haven't had all the raid gear drop for them yet or cannot play destiny for hours at a time everyday. They paid for this content too and it hasn't been a complete year since said raid items /weapons have been available. We should have the choice regardless. I finally had some end game weapons drop in the past couple of weeks that I would like to use in future content and if "DeeJ" and bungivision go back on their word and do not respect the time I have invested in destiny, I will be leaving. Plenty of players I know personally feel the same. If you enjoy paying for content with time and money, only to have it taken away by the devs, more power to you and good luck.

Cozmo, here is another thread on weapon ascension/infusion; can we get it added to the Community Wish List yet?
-
I don't see why they shouldn't add it for year 1 weapons

Bump.

Signed Bump

Petitions don't -blam!-ing work don't know where you've been bud

The data for all legendary gear stays in the system for non-DLC buyers AND people who are keeping all that gear. So the only excuse bungie has to not allow year 1 ascension of legendary gear is laziness.

BUMP TO SHAKE A MILLION WORLDS! *Bump. Explosion ensues afterwards*

70/30. Uh hello? Bungie? The community has spoken, me thinks you should listen.

"All I want is for the game to stay exactly the same and use the same weapons forever and never have to use different weapons because I like the weapons I got through VOG the first time so keep everything the same because I don't want to have to try or adapt or grow or do anything different because I like everything to stay the same." Nobody will "become legend" because everyone will just use fatebringer and friends forever. Leave year one gear 100% behind in year one I say.

Not much time left for Bungie to fix this before The Taken King drops.
