Farming it is a pain in the ass now as well thanks to how stats work with relation to player level. I still have all my old POE gear, but if I equip any of it I'm destroying my cooldowns which pretty well negates having the special bonuses from the armor which, at the time they were relevant were pretty damned strong. Good job obsoleting an entire year's worth of content Bungie. So goddamn sick of vertical progression in gaming, freaking WoW (Cataclysm) ruining the MMO scene... because God forbid we have actual variety in games instead of just jumping from 1 flavor of the month to the next all the time.
