[quote]This broadens the scope of the meta game quite a bit and makes balancing new gear that much harder.[/quote] But they [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---09082015/en/News/News?aid=13474][i]already [b]did[/b] balance it!!![/i][/url] You act like it would take too much of their resources to do it, but it's [i]already been done[/i]. I'm not asking them to do [i]additional[/i] effort, dude; I'm asking them to act on the fact that they [u]already did it[/u]. Year 1 gear is [i]still[/i] usable in 95% of PvP, so they [i]had[/i] to balance it, and they will [u]always[/u] have to balance it, until the end of the game. Even if it only affects 20% of the game (regular PvP), they still have to put in the same amount of effort to balance the "Meta" as they would if they were balancing the [i]entire[/i] game... Because they still have to balance [i]every weapon in the game[/i]. As such, there is [i]no, goddam reason to leave Y1 behind.[/i] Its asinine.
