Just because you like the way the armor looks? That's reason enough for you to want to make the new raid worthless? That's basically what you're saying when you want old raid gear to be JUST as good as new raid gear. Why would anyone want to run CE now when they can just roll upgrades for VOG or do VOG all over again and level that shit up and make CE a walk in the park. Then people would cry about how boring the game is because they got all that crap so quickly yet again and blah blah this and that. What you need to do is ask Bungie to wipe your ass and give you an item to allow your armor to change and make you that special unique-looking snowflake you want to be, just like every one else.
