You are a true veteran if you remember when: 1. Legendaries turned into Rares 2. Legendaries weren't rarer to find than Rahool's ballsacks 3. The Templar and Atheon could be cheesed and you didn't know how to do it legitimately 4. Xur was selling Gjallarhorn and you disregarded it because you didn't think an exotic Rocket Launcher would be useful. 5. Sunbreakers, Achlyophage Symbiote and Insurmountable Skullfort had different icons 6. The Grenade and Melee Timers were green instead of blue 7. Thorn and Bad Juju were one of the worst weapons in the game 8. You farmed the loot cave for hours only for your beloved legendaries to turn into 1. 9. You could never get that pair of Gauntlets and you were forever stuck at Level 29 10. The Vex Mythoclast had 58 Rounds in the Mag 11. The Pocket Infinity had 8 Rounds in the Mag 12. The SUROS Regime was the most OP weapon in PvP 13. You bought sunbreakers because they looked cool 14. Bastion & First Light were still in Clash/Control 15. You ran around planets to gather materials to upgrade your weapons 16. The Maximum Vanguard Playlist was 26 17. Fusion Rifles were OP AS -blam!- 18. When The Last Word was first sold, everybody was super hyped 19. When Xur sold NLB and Dragons Breath on repeat for weeks, only for Icebreaker to break that cycle 20. When Icebreakers were rare 21. When VoG gave you 300 exotics post-DLC 22. You kept recycling Queens Wrath so that you can get Restoration for a free Legendary 23. You broke those Legendaries down for Ascendant Materials because they were crazy rare 24. When Ascendant Materials were rare and not legendary 25. When you farmed public events for Ascendant Materials 26. When you got Jackolytes to wear as well as Xur selling the flight of shadows Ill think of more when it comes to me

Who still has that JackoLantern consumable? I kept a couple of mine

Your a day one player if you played the alpha

You're a day one player if you got the game on the first day.

Legendary turning into rare.

Yeah, I fell for the same. Plus when the banner came up "Queen's wrath limited time event" I thought, yeah, it'll be like iron banner and on a cycle....damn it! Also remember seeing early level 20s and wondering how amazing that must be lol.

Anyone who shared the misery of being stuck at level 29 waiting for one item to drop from VOG is worthy of the term 'veteran' in my book It was gloves for me That dropped the day after they became less useful than vanguard gear. Interested to see about Mats in HOW now that there are no damage nodes, should need far less

When everyone had a preordered sparrow and thought it was special until we discovered legendary sparrows Sitting on rocks and taking pics of the view with friends Not playing until your friends got online so you didn't skip ahead of them Thinking that legendary armor was better than exotic armor Hitting 20 and looking for more story missions Sitting beside people who were at the loot cave to get their exp to finish maxing out your skill trees Crossing your fingers for an actual legendary item from a legendary engram

If you remember when Xūr sold Gjallarhorn and you were like "I don't want a heavy, I'd rather have a primary." And now you hate yourself.

When you were upset to find out your beta character wouldn't carry over, and you said something like, "Awh man, there was that blue primary I wanted to keep..."
