Sunsetting overshadows your live stream

I watched the live stream this morning and got extremely excited about all the new content coming this Fall. So after the long wait for the download to finish and the many warnings about my connection to the Destiny server I was finally able to log on. The wait didn't end my hype, the new video and story missions were really cool. After I finished the and acquired my new grenade launcher and did one of the boring new public events from this season I was still excited. Then I looked at my weapons and armor and saw Bungie is already implementing sunsetting. We aren't affected by it, but it's there and looking and ready to destroy our inventory and vaults as soon as the new expansion comes this Fall. I immediately lost any motivation I had to play this season. Every strike, crucible match, Gambit match, seemed utterly pointless. What is my goal? To receive armor with a time limit? What if I get busy with work/school/life for a few months? It doesn't matter to Bungie if you enjoy playing the game as long as you are buying new content and that is clearly apparent. Sunsetting weapons I get, Bungie is too lazy to find a viable solution for balancing so just hit the refresh button. Sunsetting armor after the grind you made to masterwork it? After you made it the only decent reward from the season passes? It saddens me to see people support a company which has fallen so far out of touch with its player base. Bungie has been my favorite developer since the first Halo but they just can't seem to get out of their own way since D2 launched. I was expecting good things after the Activision split but it's just more of the same.

    The plot reveals seem interesting, other than that I don't see how anyone is hyped from that stream, they literally announced they're going to remove content and recycle it later. Vault of glass in D2? I already paid for/grinded that content in D1.
