the vanguard and crucible quartermaster new armor is so much cooler looking than the boring faction armor, why would anyone bother buying it? why did the vanguard get new guns but the factions kept the same inventory but with higher levels? all vendors should have an exotic shard item required to upgrade those lvl guns too, i love my legendaries and dont want to see them expire, i agree that they should have increased the old guns lvl and add the new ones too just to give the game that sense of having options, multiple guns and perks that make your selection that more meaningful according to your play style. i just got this new Iron Banner armor, and in a week theres gonna be newer IB armor to buy all over? when i just reached lvl 4 weeks ago? unfair... keep the current IB rewards, and rank, and just increase the rank requirement for your newer DLC items. or instead of a faction shard to upgrade legendaries, why not make it that to update your legendary weapon to the new cap lvl base damage, you have to trade in a fully upgraded version to get a new higher based damage version that you have to rerank, nobody minds the grind as long as we dont have add a shard to the whole process...
