Do people read anymore? Cozmo said don't dismantle your stuff and the GI interview stated that gear in the same slot can be dismantled to bring gear of the same type up to the highest values. But what you need to realize is at heart Destiny is an MMO and it's following the same path as other MMOs. Your progress doesn't transfer between any FPS or RPG so why complain here? I love my old gear but I want something new now
