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.

The people I used to play with aren't coming back because of this. Now I don't know if I want to play Destiny 2. Really don't want to go into it as a solo player again. I want to share it with people. Tried making friends and joining clans but it just falls on deaf ears. I was afraid this would happen. :/
