Alright, alright, alright: we've all been -blam!- about sunsetting for a couple weeks now, myself included, so I'd like to propose a fix. I doubt it'll be seen by anyone important, but here goes anyway.
So. Your favorite gun got sunset. Worse yet, there's no replacement for it in the current loot pool - I'm looking at you, Hammerhead. Maybe, like me, you masterworked your weapon because you were blissfully unaware that sunsetting was coming. I'd like to suggest that weapons should either a) lose their light cap, or b) have their cap massively increased through the masterwork upgrade process. Masterworking is expensive, so you wouldn't be able to keep everything forever, but it would provide a way to keep your favorite guns around until something newer and cooler shows up.
What do y'all think?
