[You guys came up with so many great ideas. I really wish Bungie had a look at the comments here.]
[b]Come on, Bungie, give us the freedom to choose whatever suits our style best and don't let those awesome weapons you've designed become obsolete. Actually, don't let the stunning Vault of Glass (best content in the game) be consumed by the darkness.
I believe that Raids and its weapons should always be the at level cap. More weapons to choose from, more content to play.
Weapons are mostly situational and mixing them is part of a successful strategy (it's fun too). Having more to choose from just add to the game.
Edit: I'm not suggesting to automatically turn them into 331 attack weapons. Just give us a way to upgrade them to the current attack cap. I bet you guys can implement it in a sensible way.
Why would we go against the idea of having more relevant weapons at our disposal? It's like saying "I'd rather have less weapons, less content". Let's not be passively attached to an old format. Destiny is something new with immense potential.[/b]
=====================
Some great comments Bungie should pay some attention to:

"But what they decide to do with VOG weapons speaks to the future of the current raid weapons as well. Right now, there is an expiration date on my Fatebringer and that sucks, supremely, but now that same feeling isn't too far for my Black Hammer either. I'd like to carry these weapons with me as long as I am playing Destiny. Yeah, future weapons maybe better and I end up scraping these guns one day but I'd like to be able to decide for myself versus having no choice in the matter. Just my take on the situation".

"The problem lies within the way they have designed the upgrading system. They are going to have to re work how you upgrade weapons and armor. Yeah they could just update the VOC gear up to 32 and 331 but what happens when the House of Wolves comes out? Then they are going to have to update both Dark Below and VOC all over again the prevent them from being obsolete. They need to just make it were the players can choose the path they want to take. You choose what armor and weapons you want to upgrade to the highest rank. I mean make it a difficult task. I wouldn't mind the challenge and it would inspire players to be more creative with their characters rather than every single person wearing the same gear".

"Upgrading older legendary weapons could finally give a use for the Gunsmith beyond buying ammo and weapons at a low level. Not to mention it would help provide a larger variety of "good" weapons so that we would have more things to work towards. After all the various DLC's are done, just imagine how varied the weapon and armor selection would be. (Speaking of which, vendors should be able to upgrade armor as well.)"

No. Just no. Vog weapons aren't irrelevant they're just not the best. And they shouldn't be. Vog still offers chances at exotics unless you have all the exotics you want you should be doing vog.

+1 BUMP

Be able to re-roll/upgrade stats on all weapons at the cost of commendations and/or glimmer or coins. That would be cool!
-
I half way agree on this concept but weapons wise I could care less. I want to upgrade whatever armor sets I feel like so I don't have to look like everyone else at 32 and so on ect.
-
True, I would hate to say goodbye to my fatebringer and be forced to use the WoC. I have to admit the WoC is currently better than the fatebringer but I still use fatebringer for everything. Even though I have many other types of primary weapons

By making old raids "relevant" you make the new ones irrelevant. Why would I do anything when I could just have fatebringer. There's a reason no other games with raids work how you want them to.

Bump goes the night.

Bungie will probably release a level 33 version of VOG this summer. They're masters at keeping the grind alive and they know that they have several long months to fill between HOW and Comet. ...and with very little material to do it with.
-
No. Old raid weapons should be useless. That's the point of new raids. What we really need is actual time between raids being released. House of Wolves is like a month away and Crota Hard opened last week.
-
Thats why WoW raids never become irrelevant. Oh wait..
-
Yes! I would love to have VOG weapons to stay relevant in the future. Because heck if VOG weapons and armor is going to be trash then why not simply remove that raid in the future? Since you'll be wasting time getting irrelevant weapons and armor. And then what of the CE raid? Is that going to become irrelevant in the future as well? Being rewarded useless gear is a waste of time. I believe bungie should keep VOG rewards updated.
-
That shouldn't happen because it basically makes the dlc obsolete and gives no incentive for you to buy the dlc other than the story. If I couldn't get all my weapons from VOG (those not exotic) to 331 without the dlc why would I get it?

No. It's a stupid idea. You feel you should have more weapons to choose from. Greater variety. That's fine, but what about the armor? Why should the legendary armor be rendered irrelevant? So now we'll have a level 32/33 difficulty setting for Vault of Glass and upgraded weapons and armor to go along with it (since you shouldn't be able to upgrade your existing gear -- you should have to run Vault of Glass all over again to get them). .. why would anyone do Crota's End at that point? All the Vault of Glass weapons are better than the Crota's End weapons, with the sole exception of Hunger of Crota. New content, specifically new raids, need to give players and incentive to do them. If you can run Vault of Glass for better gear, what's the incentive to run Crota's End?
-
maybe they will upgrade VoG weapons to 331 when HoW comes out, but we will have to re-obtain those to get them upgraded, that could be a well measured solution
-
What about this. When you have a dead orbit equipped, you can expect dead orbit weapons and gear to drop in the raid. When you have Vanguard bond equipped, you have the change Vanguard gear or weapons will drop. Etc etc. When you still need raid gear, you will need to equip a raid bond. Good idea?
-
Completely agree
