Agree with OP. We paid for the gear with money and time. If a perk is a problem the fix the perk don't just leave the gear behind. There is a place in PvE for most of the Y1 stuff. Ironically Y1 one stuff was likely left behind to balance PvP which is the only place wher eyou can use it in the new content without being penalized. We will still grind for your new toys Bungie, just don't make us throw away the stuff we already earned.
