Thank you for this post. You had a POV that I haven't given much thought into; in particular the infusion of one weapon with another to gain a new one. Honestly the best idea I've read so far in regards to the question how do we keep our old weapons (and the work it took to get them) relevant in the days to come. Not only does it validate our time and energy, but it keeps it the older content relevant giving players a boatload of "tasks" they can chose to take part in. Not to mention it rewards old players and provides incentives to new players to be involved in the entirety of the game...not just the new stuff.
