Let me ask you a question Isnt it nice to be able to upgrade your old raid weapons? Would you like them to be upgraded? Regardless of other games and how they work. Thats the point of this thread. If you want my openion about this subject I really dont care much for the raid weapons. I do like using a Fatebringer all the time and for sure will replace it with the hard mode Hand cannon when bungie decides to release crotas end hard mode and drops the weapon for me. In the mean time we can dream of an upgrade for old vog weapons which isnt going to happen anyway from the way things are going

It would be nice, sure. The issue with having an upgrade system in place for the old raid weapons and armor would defeat the purpose of earning new armor and weapons to challenge the new raid, or of even doing the new raid if you already were able to get the new max level using your old armor. I can definitely see an upgrade coming to the VoG itself that would increase the armor and weapons received from it to the higher level cap. Just after Crota's end has been out for a while. This keeps old content relevant and doesn't defeat the purpose of doing the new raid.

Final fantasy 14 zodiac relic weapon upgrade could take you 5 hours to 20 hours to unlock first upgrade which only prepares your weapon for the next upgrade to make it a higher level. Second quest will take you 30 hours Third quest could take weeks. All this to upgrade. It is frustrating and yet it is a nice addition to be able to continue using your old weapons if you like them. This was not the case when ff14 was first released. They added the option after the release of the second raid for their game

That's pretty sweet. I would love something like this. Problem with a system that could take weeks is most of Destiny's player base are 'casuals' and Bungie has designed the game to be a challenge to that type of player. None of the content is particularly challenging unless you're not paying attention. The forums are already rife with complaints about how hard it is to have to relevel an exotic after upgrading it. Bungie is trying to walk the line between challenging content and making sure less-than-hardcore players feel like they have access to all of the game. Know what I mean?

I thought xur was the casual players vendor who gives them exotics!
