I agree. I shake my head when I go to xur and he's selling vanilla exotic armor at year 2 light levels that I already have in my vault. Some of which I already spent the 7000 glimmer to upgrade when that was a thing. I don't know if they can't figure out how to let us upgrade our stuff to year 2, or if they believe the grind to get the same gear at level two somehow prolongs the experience. Either way, once again I look like everyone else with my highest level raid armor and I hate that I can't just apply "light" to whatever I want and be original by either rolling my prefered weapon and armor perks, and or at least apply the needles to all gear. Including blues which in some cases look better. I can guarantee I was the 1st person to apply etheric light to my titans queens helmat. I went into skolas with that on and I was original at the tower. There's no incentive to be original in this game. It's really lacking on the theme of being legend and it's disappointing looking at my vault collection where I have every set of raid and iron banner collection for all three characters and the rarest guns. And why doesn't all the shaders work on all the armor? Ugh, this game...
