Seriously Bungie? I was looking forward to the Dark Below until I found out I need to re-upgrade all of my max out exotics just so it won't be inferior to the new weapons. This is bs and you know it. Another lame excuse for Bungie to have us grind out exp for exotic weapons. For the people that say "oh just do all of the vanguard bounties" or "just upgrade your duplicates".
1. I don't have duplicates of my max out exotics
2. I have school Monday through Friday with an additional 3 hour swim practice. I only have one hour to play video games and I don't want to waste my enjoyment grinding. Even on the weekends I am busy with doing stuff with my family or at a swim meet.
Bungie please change the requirements for getting the upgraded versions. Make it so most of our exp carries over so we don't have to grind it all over again. Heck, instead of resetting the progress, add on to the upgrade trees.
Edit: Thanks for your opinions guys! So far as now, the majority don't like this too, but not by a lot 55-45. Looks like this topic is half and half
Edit: My response to all you guys comparing Destiny to MMO games and don't see my point
1. This is not a MMO game, stop comparing it to Destiny. This is also not the prestige from COD, stop comparing it to that. Stop comparing Destiny to any game out there
2. I am ok buying the upgrade from Xur and paying the glimmer. What makes me tick off is I have to re level the whole gun again. It takes 3-5 days for me to max out an exotic. I have 9+ exotics I want upgrade, but grinding out exp for them will take forever. Plus I have school and swim so it takes a lot o time away from me playing Destiny.
What they should do is either let our exp carry over or add new upgrade trees to our existing gun when we take it to Xur to upgrade it.

I find it alright, for those of us who have been playing for ages and hardcore players, besides, doing bounties between 3 chars levels up shiZ fast, and Bungie said that exo Rica are faster to level after upgrade so I'm all good But this new system is gonna ruin it for the casual player are and people who have recently joined
