Agreed 100% with your original post. They say they won't do something, lose customers, and then go back on their word and do exactly what they said they wouldn't do to & try to bring them back. They're holding out one the 'hidden year 2 exotics' to keep people playing; they're trying to prolong replayability. If they want people to keep playing, let them use their old gear and remix the old raids and PoE at a higher level; 310-320... and chance to bring forward our older gear. Contrary to popular belief, I was against older gear and content coming to Y2, but I see the problem it presents now... it's a lack in diversity in end game content and in content that's pretty much too easy, or useful all around perks on Y1 gear; primary ammo / loader v.s a certain weapon type. Which is what Y2 gear is mainly focused on; AR, Pulse, Scout Handcannon, etc., not juts primary, specials or heavy in general; ammo / reload speed. This would make all gear practical, instead of having to grind out more than one gear set / armor piece + infusion every time you change a weapon / mission. Y1 gear is still relevant. I rock my CE Warlock chest piece, the Deathsingers mantle almost exclusively without the shader, because it has awesome perks and ( because the KF weapons match perfectly and I look like a snowflake)... badass. You know how many people tell me to take it off if I want to raid? I'm like why? I can do the normal raid at 290 light, hell. I beat it at 275. And most end game content is only 290 anyway. But I digress... Here's a link to them "addressing our concerns." So far they addressed most of them after a (future) DLC / and or major patch (2.0.1). If you already knew about this, my apologies in advanced. I just wanted to voice my opinion. [spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/114521210/0/0[/spoiler]
