[quote] Players should have the choice to retain the gear that they worked for (sometimes) hundreds of hours to earn.. The axiom "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" works well here- you should have the choice to use the same weapon for as long as you choose if you so please- it is on bungie to be inventive and resourceful enough to create alluring new content-phasing out gear that took a considerable investment to get will discourage players from playing in the future. Bungie is already changing the talent trees/ available upgrades for weapons and armor (elemental burn resistance)- that will be enough to necessitate new gear- it need not be imposed. The majority of the playershipdo not play these recursive strikes, storyline etc because it's entertaining- they do it for gear. Playing it once or twice is fun- most of us have other things that merit our time. #saveourgear[/quote] -freeweezy91
