Upgrading Legendary Armor's Light Level

So as we all know The Dark Below has arrived. With this expansion the overall light level has increased up to 33 on legendary gear and up to 36 on exotic. And yet we look back at all of our grinding through the VOG, and hours working for pieces of legendary gear to boost us to light level 30. Now time wasted. The raid gear, the true meaning of commitment and being a true warrior in Destiny. (And also some of the most fantastic looking gear) is now worthless. Throw it away and buy better gear form the vanguard.... Why!? Why should my hard work and commitment go unsung. Grinding to the bone for sacred raid gear now for nothing? Some of my most beautiful gear worthless? Vault of Glass a useless raid? My question to Bungie is why can't our legendaries be upgraded in light level like exotics?... Exchange with Xur and reset the piece as you would an exotic? Bungie said how if we are all aiming for one goal, the game is unbalanced and not diverse. Well look at what has happened.. Screw all this interesting balanced raid gear. Trash it and let's all buy the same exact gear from the vanguard.. Please Bungie, allow players to be diverse and work to keep our favorite gear relevant by allowing players to upgrade them with a higher light level. -A frustrated supporter of Destiny Also cite Polygon's article. They discuss how the more time you put in the more you have to lose. As the game jumps ahead leaving the last installment, gear and missions obsolete.

  • Digging up old posts, but i kinda agree. I was gone for serveral months, couldn't play Destiny. Before i went away i did hard work to get me my Legendairy gear. When i came back, my top notch gear was suddenly mid range. Thankfully i could upgrade my exotics, but i want to to be able to upgrade my Legendairies aswell. I dont mind to work my ass of for it, but i dont want to grind for Vanguard points, or Crusible points so soon after i bought the legendairy set i own now. This is not good thinking Bungie.. I hope with House of Wolfs this will be better over thought.

    Um, question - I'm still only 25 and don't get to play as much as I'd like because of my work, but don't people need that old gear to get them up to 30 first so they can even get to the new raid and new gear and survive? Seems to me like it's all still useful because of that.

    • Have you never played WoW where the end gear gets thrown out for something better in the very first quest of a new expansion?

        The idea is not remain on top, yet to grant diversity and customization to the game. A player may grind and grind for gear and deeply enjoy that item. Why not allow them to carry it through the game showing where they came from and allowing them to be who they want to be. Instead of forcing them to either by new gear or wear gear they don't enjoy?

        • The gear is old and outdated. How long did you think it was going to remain on top?
