That works when there is enough new loot to shake up the sandbox. In D1, every vendor for revamped sandbox changes for each new season in the first and second years. Right now, we haven’t gotten a new sandbox of weapons since Forsaken - just individual new weapons of each archetype. Gear we’ve been getting since Forsaken came out, and even updated year 1 season 1 gear.

Haha, ok, I take your point but that feels like semantics. When Cayde said, "there will be a ton of loot," and when people in Y1 kept asking, "where's the loot," they weren't talking about greens, blues or trash rolls they immediately dismantled. They were talking about the god roll weapons and armour, the stuff that's worth keeping. And what I'm getting at is that much of this season has been about Gambit Prime and those specialised Gambit Prime armour sets with their Gambit Prime perks. This next power level increase plus core economy and infusion cost is going to lead to many people never using it again - in just one season. TLDR: loot is the treasure, not the trash. It's the trash that's supposed to be irrelevant, not the treasure.
