First, i just wanna state i totally agree with you on wanting VoG gear and your other points. Second, heres my take on why we wont see it ... for a while at least. (This is going off of playing various mmo's over the last 8 years or so) Right now they are trying to keep content fresh and to build the world larger and larger. Updating old stuff they have is not efficient and won't make any money. People will rage about why we would pay again for just an updated version of what we already done and they wony give out the work for free. This is all understandable and all companies do this. There will though, sometime in the next year or two, be enough old content to go over and "redo". This will entail a total rehaul of all old content and most likely introduce a vanity type system to look how you want. They will supplement this for new dlc and package it as its own. This has been done by other games and a way for them to profit from their efforts of redoing content. Right now theres not enough old stuff to sell on its own and to much to just fit in to their schedule. Just imagine the replayability of just a vanity system! People will grind out old shit again just to look how they want and with very little effort from bungie. The problem right now is there is what ... 3 sets of gear to go collect (pve wise)? Once again its not efficient to see a vanity system yet because theres not enough sets to choose from. Wait another year of dlc's and then we can talk. The other side is its not OG/cool to sport old stuff yet. Give another couple years and all day 1 shit will be baller again and rare as hell. Were just starting to see the "whos rocking beta emblem" threads and others like it. Im not no "they are scamming us" type of person. I dont think they are screwing us but just trying to sustain themselves and make profits. There is only so much they can work on at any given time. They have a boss (Activision) and need to turn a set amount of profit.
