This stuff was NEVER advertised to carry over. Neither was everything else you put so much "work" in.
If you want your old gear to remain useful way later in the game, then go play World Of Warcraft where Transmogrification is a thing.
Destiny Is a videogame. It is a luxury. You will survive without your silly emotes, fancy sparrows and the other crap you bought.

They have left me absolutely no incentive to play since none of this will carry over. Even stuff I played money for. So if they bring back the old raids there is no reason to play them despite nostalgia. The carrot they used to dangle in front of me is rotten and moldy and I don't really care about playing Destiny going forward. If there is nothing going forward and nothing to show for your year one efforts? Why play?
