PETITION: VoG weapons at 331. Raids shouldn't be rendered irrelevant.

1500+ up votes 3000+ replies [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: AJIc3CoLd said: "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". JoshLags said: "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". DE4THINC4RN4TE said: "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 know, I have been suggesting this since before Dark Below came out. It's ludicrous to limit you to only the new set of raid gear to stay at max level. What if you want to mix-match raid sets? What if you don't like that specific raid gear? Before they made VOG gear obsolete, my favorite combo was Iron Banner shoulders and boots, with my Facade of The Hezen Lord helmet and Praxic Fire. I was still 30. I still love my Facade, but it's worthless now. It's not even 31 quality item. The only reason they didn't do everything this post outlines, is because they want even Raiders to have to start grinding again, in order to be max level. This is fine if you're doing this a year down the road, but 2 months after release? Wow, many people I played with didn't even complete their raid sets in that amount of time. They either just got energy or the same raid items they already had. Bungie's train of thought must have been, "So what if you ran the previous raids, it doesn't matter...why should you get to mix-match raid gear and keep your level? In fact, why should you even be allowed to be level 31? Heck, we'll demoralize you and sell level 31 vendor gear so that new comers can surpass your ability to cooperate and beat hard mode raids!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Sure, we could have made the vendor gear level 30, to match parity with your awesomeness, but nope...to hell with you!"
