[quote]Stopped reading when you asked people not to relate to other MMOs and shooters. The entire process is void if you choose to ignore opinions you don't like.[/quote] You missed my point. I'm saying that I want a reason why Year 1 [i]needs[/i] (again, [i]NEEDS[/i]) to be left behind. Just because other games leave gear behind in [i]no way[/i] means that Destiny is bound to follow their lead, so using other games as examples only serves to muddy the argument (and plenty of other games [i]do[/i] allow for continued gear upgrades, so it's easy to argue against, either way). Again, I'm specifically looking for anything [i]in this game[/i] that in any way makes it [i]necessary[/i] to leave Year 1 behind. [quote]Anyway, Year 1 had perks and guns that were poorly balanced and they chose not to carry them over for that reason.[/quote] Sounds like someone didn't read the [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---09082015/en/News/News?aid=13474]2.0 patch notes[/url]. Literally [i]every single Year 1 perk[/i] has been nerfed, in addition to virtually every single OP weapon. So, while your argument may have been valid at one point, it is no longer valid in [i]any way[/i]. Get with the times, man. ;)

They didn't rebalance every single perk and gun. It was a very limited few which were balanced.

[quote]very limited few[/quote] Bro, the patch notes alone list [i]THIRTY PERKS.[/i] You're killing me, haha. Just admit it; your argument is invalid.
