[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.)"

I think raising the weapon damage and maybe lowering the drop rate for some of the "classics" from VoG would actually help keep the playtime longer for new players. Imagine starting to play Destiny at DLC 3 or 4. Will you ever run VoG? Probably not, there is no incentive if new raid gear is always better. But what if a few VoC weapons (vex, fate, VoC) leveled up with each expansion and they were contenders for the best guns in the game. Now a fresh player will spend time in VoG to get them. Maybe there are 2-3 guns in every raid that get bumped up in stats at each DLC. It would reward the Day 1 crew who have The good weapons. They keep their trusted friends. And it would allow for new players to grind through all of the raids to "make their marks".

Perhaps as the game goes forward, they will add higher level difficulties for each raid when an expansion comes out. The guns and armor given would be specific to the difficulty; easy VoG giving what we have currently, and level 32 VoG difficulty giving armor and guns that equate to what we get in Crota's end. Assuming the light level is raised to 34 for HoW, add a level 34 difficulty for VoG and CE, where the loots stats are equal to the new loot in the new raid. I really think this solves the issue we have with raids becoming obsolete and having only the latest one to grind. This also lets players with similar amounts of playtime (and level) to have the opportunity to look and play differently, instead of everyone having the same new gear on. Bump if you agree!

Bump my voc, found verdict and Hezen vengeance

Bump. I love my VoC

Agree

There really needs to be a method to upgrade VoG weapons which we've spent hours upon hours getting. Best idea to me is to so something similar to how we can upgrade Exotics with Xur, but for Legendaries just use the Gunsmith. (Not like he has any other purpose besides ammo synthesis).

if the VoG weapons were at 331 the there would be no reason to play Crota. Ppl like you who have never played RPG type games need to learn that old weapons will always have a lower attack and defense compared to the new stuff.

Totally agree, or at least a way to upgrade the ones we have.

I support this

Yes! We need all raid weapons to have the ability to upgrade! Just like many others are saying.. come up with a way for gunsmith to upgrade these items as each DLC comes out. Also were only talking about the attack rating here. From 300 to 331 and so on..

Agreed worked hard for to get all of them....
