Destiny's new Light system has worked out pretty well. It feels like every day I'm able to make a little progress and it has kept that feeling there is always something both new and obtainable just around the corner. But I'm sad and maybe even a little mad that my Collector's Edition Frontier Shell was not included in the new better progression system. The Frontier Shell was one of the neat little extras I paid for and now it is completely and confusingly hobbled.
Completely, since it sits at a mere 3 defense when even your base level armor gets to start at 5 defense. Confusingly, since the Frontier Shell is classified as Legendary, has typical Legendary Ghost perks, and even displays the option to be infused... except, since it is a year one item, there is nothing to infuse it with?!
Was this a mistake, Bungie, or a bug, not being able to bring my valued item forward? Or was it intentional? Unless I''m mistaken I can't even pick up a Frontier Shell anymore either now that Tess Everis has left the Tower. What kind of odd message does that send? Don't buy our Collectors Editions because the digital bonuses will all be obsolete within a year?
One of the coolest things out of Destiny year one, for me, was to hold the same Ghost in real life as my Guardians held in their hands, and now the game, intentionally or not, is working against that. :(

The Brave shell looks similar, and if I ever find enough high level ghost shells, I'll infuse it.
