[b]Hear me out, it's a simple request.[/b]
With House of Wolves we'll be able to upgrade our Legendary Gear to all be Max light/attack. This is more than likely due to the vast number of complaints about everyone looking pretty much the same and using the same equipment. All I'm asking, is the following.
All gear that was available before the HoW DLC makes a return so that we can have more variety. I miss the stylish names like Shadow Price and Ghost Angel. We never really had the space to store favorites until recently, so it would give a lot of players the chance to acquire some of the old and forgotten gear. This is a much better alternative than completely replacing even more legendary gear.
I imagine the best way to do this would be to put it on a cycle with the current gear vendors.
Vanguard, Crucible- Cycles between launch weapons and armor, TDB weapons and armor, and HoW weapons and armor at random.
Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, Future War Cult- Cycles between Launch weapons and armor, and HoW weapons and armor at random.
Updated. These cycles would happen every few hours or so, similar to the gunsmith.
Updated 5/6. Listing the Gear that needs to return.

Luke Smith in his interview spoke about how the Devs at Bungie are constantly attempting to figure a way to "show the player was there when......" an event transpired in the past. David Dague in an interview with Destin at ign mentioned "10 years with the same gun can be boring". O_O We've got Bungies Luke Smith on the topic of [b]gear[/b] being the only way to show you were there, and David Dague on the topic of [u]that gear[/u] being kept as "boring". Implying it's not exciting to keep it. First DeeJ, YOU [i]thinking[/i] that [b]any[/b] gear we want to keep that we'd "want to keep it for ten years" is a childish statement implying that players who want to keep anything want to keep it for ten years, and your opinion about it being "boring" is completely irrelevant, because nobody asked you if what WE ENJOY is [b]boring to -->you<--[/b]. And honestly... 10 years playing this game would be more boring than using my favorite weapons. Luke.... 1st way to show "you were there when...." an event was happening in the game is to introduce weapons and gear that are only obtainable from those events you introduce into the game. You're having hive sword knights in the game, you're having Fallen Packs as public events transpiring. But you get no permanent weapons or armor affiliated with those events. Duh. Bad enough you removed the chances of legendary weapons from earlier DLC from earlier strike playlists. You waited WAY too long to introduce upgrading day 1 weapons and gear under too small a vault. And now after phasing the ability to get any decent gear from past strike playlists, you've got DeeJ telling us it's boring to HIM if we use the same gun for what he imagined WE want as "10 years", and Luke without a clue on adding gear to temporary events Bungie adds and removes. It's like Bungie is full of "man-children".
