Just wondering. I mean, it was my favorite Exotic from year one and I waited so long. While the old exotics getting brought back was nice, I was still disappointed every time it happened and it wasn't the Infinity. Now we're at the very end, Bungie have even outright said that aside from bug-fixes, they're not changing the sandbox at all from this point forward. That tells me that if it isn't back now, it's never coming back.
It saddens me a little, knowing that I can't compete with my favorite weapon in a PvE environment anymore. I can't use it in Trials or IB, and it sucks. All I want to know is why.

Also wanted to know something else. You know those guys who spout nonsense like "If even a SINGLE weapon from D1 appears in D2, I'm gunna -blam!-ING LOSE IT!"? These people suffer a seizure of some kind every time something reappears in D1, they absolutely insist that every weapon, every armor piece, every enemy, and every location they see are completely original, and they make sure to let everybody know about it. Even going so far as to spew death threats when they don't get their way.
Do you think they'd still lose it if said returning weapon was the Pocket Infinity? You know, a gun was never brought forward from year one.
If it's never coming back in D1 then I'd like to see it return in D2; I do NOT want to see its chances ruined by these dream-crushing assholes.

I honestly don't know. I don't remember being killed by it very much in Year 1... it was more Thorns (which eventually returned), Last Words (which stayed, but got nerfed, then partly unnerfed), and Red Deaths (which got 2.5x the nerf it needed and was crap for over a year). Pocket Infinity was potent, but its recoil was so high I couldn't keep it on target.
