[quote]To give brand new players a chance, otherwise as the game ages, new players will be so behind they will just not even try.[/quote] How in the [i]hell[/i] does leaving Year 1 behind help give anyone a chance? First of all; the only area where powerful gear can ever affect another player is Crucible, where all of Year 1 [i]is still usable[/i]. And, as for PvE, all the most popular gear were Raid weapons, which new players would [i]still be able to obtain[/i]. No imbalance, [i]whatsoever[/i]. Second, as I've thoroughly pointed out in my posts, all of Year 1 has been nerfed so that it is [i]equally as powerful as Year 2[/i]. A new player, using all Year 2 weapons is [i]equally as powerful as someone using Year 1 weapons.[/i] Also, you mention the need for new players; You know what would get more new players? Advertising a game with [b]THREE[/b] Raids and [b]350+[/b] Legendary/Exotic weapons; not [b]ONE[/b] Raid and [b]50-ish[/b] Legendary/Exotic weapons. Trust me, I'm [i]just[/i] as concerned with new players as I am with the veterans, but if I looked at Destiny from an outsider's perspective, I'd be [i]infinitely[/i] more likely to jump into the game if I knew that ALL the content was relevant. What's the point of marketing the "Legendary Edition" if everything but TTK is [i]worthless?[/i]
