Because Year 1 gear was/is much better than Year 2 gear. Year 2 gear looks better by comparison only because there's no competition.
Stronger gear isn't the same as [b]BETTER[/b] gear.
Somebody tell that to the developers.

[quote]Year 2 gear looks better by comparison only because there's no competition.[/quote] It's funny, because if [i]Crucible[/i] is any indication, Year 2 [i]totally[/i] goes toe-to-toe with Year 1. Bungie still seems afraid of the old gear they created, even though they already [i]nerfed it[/i]. :P
