I don't understand why people think the sunsetting is to balance anything. Sunsetting itself won't rebalance at all..... but depending on what changes/nerfs/buffs to weapons and mods happens at the same time of the sunsetting then those changes likely will. I personally believe there will be changes made to weapon classes across the board for beyond light and It may hide behind the sunsetting as it would be the perfect time for a rebalance esp for ninja nerfs that will no doubt occur. Sunsetting imo anyway is happening for one reason alone and that is so that players have to start fresh, grind for new (or reintroduced) gear and then regrind for god rolls. It's merely just an artificial way to get players (or at least the dedicated player base) to play, aka grind more. Sure the side effects of sunsetting may sway what people use more initially but once players start to identify and collect the new meta weapons It will all settle back into place until the next sunset then rinse/repeat.
