I have an idea that could work out depending on how it's implemented. Here it is.
Along the lines of Etheric Light, they release something I decided to call "Infused Light" which could be used to upgrade a piece of year 1 gear to to year 2. You'd only get one per account, like the spark used to level up a character to 25.
How you get it would be up to Bungie. Whether it's through a long difficult quest line, a random drop or just in your mailbox. Personally I'd probably bring over my Vision of Confluence but I'm sure you'd see a lot of Gjallarhorns, Fatebringers and Thorns.
What do you all think?

Making only one year 1 weapon year 2 per character is just plain dumb. They should just bring everything to year 2 in that case. because you would have to update every single weapon
