i don't think you know what a PSA - "public safety announcement" is... but on another note, i think you, like 90% of the rest of the community, are seeing it through rose colored nostalgia goggles. 1 - rerolling weapons was worthless except for 1 or 2 of them, and on the 1 or 2 it was good for, you had reroll it 40000 times to actually get anything useful. 2 - yes you could ascend old gear, and that was great. but in order to do that you had to play trials, which had no match making. or you had to complete the level 33/34 PoE, which also had no matchmaking and took 50 years because the bosses were giant bullet sponges. and in order to even do any of that you had to do the level 32 PoE which had no match making and no one wanted to do because the rewards were near garbage... so you couldn't actually get the thing to ascend weapons and armor without a MAJOR headache. and lets not even get off on the whole gally being OP and being REQUIRED to do any of it. 3 - crucible was not ballanced at ALL, blade dancers were insanely over powered. thorn and TLW were about the only guns ever used by anyone, and everyone discovered the magic that is "lag switching" and learned they could get away with it without any real threat of being banned... so that precious "trials of Osiris" everyone loved was nothing but whining about lag (so much so that i only heard the complaining even though i never touched that mess of a PvP game mode) and elemental primary burns were good, when the modifier actually came up, unless it was impossible to stay alive long enough to use it, like hive or fallen with arc burn, in which case you're sweet arc damage primary wasn't doing you alot of good as a dead body waiting to be revived. and lets not even get off on the gally being so stupidly OP tangent, where the community started actively keeping people from even being able to do freaking vault of glass without having a maxed light fully upgraded one...
