If you retire my Legendaries I will stop caring about loot
Ok, so first off, the new Director's Cut as a whole isn't all bad, some important stuff is being addressed. But the thing that really rubs me the wrong way is retiring legendary weapons.
Don't get me wrong, as someone who is into game design, I GET IT. No really, I do. I get how carrying forward hundreds of cool weapons makes it nearly impossible at some point to create cool new stuff. People want things to chase. But I can promise you right here and now... it will have the exact opposite effect on me.
If I know the god-rolls I grind out for hours will be useless in about a year, I will stop caring about them. I have spent absurd amounts of time getting my god-roll Kindled Orchid, Hammerhead or now Breachlight. Those guns, as weird as it sounds, mean something to me. How good they are, how long it took to get them, how cool they look. If every time I get something like this I KNOW I will lose it in time... I just can't bring myself to really care anymore.
...so yeah, again, I fully get your problem, but I'm gonna be brutally honest here: My enjoyment doesn't care about the issues in game-design you face. It may work to keep OTHER people interested in the game, but it will have the opposite effect on me. If you retire my Legendaries I will stop caring about loot.
EDIT:
So some people are telling me that my own personal feelings on the game somehow make no sense. Apparently because I already have all the good stuff I could ever need, I should've already stopped grinding... except I haven't. Bungie has still managed to give me stuff worth going for every season. I'm also a collector, so if something is good and looks unique, I want it.
But also, I'm just a bit tired of grinding after 2 1/2 years of hardcore play. I still play a lot but getting a god-roll just once in a while is fine. That's fun to me nowadays. But if they were to take it all away again and again and again... I would just burn out. Their intended effect of forcing me to play more would just backfire. I'd go from a game I just play a bit less after literal thousands of hours (which is normal) to a game I might actually quit. I hope that makes sense.
(Also, it's not like they couldn't do other things to make new weapons more viable. In another thread an actual game-dev has made some great suggestions, I was just here to voice my disappointment.)

32 RepliesBy your logic you should have stopped caring about loot already. You have the god roll of the best weapon in the game, why chase anything else ever again if you can keep that weapon for all endgame activities forever? Answer you shouldn’t. Hell at this point from all the whining and crying about stuff getting left behind they should just stop making new legendary weapons all together and just make armor. No point in new legendary weapons since we already have the best weapons with the best rolls and stats. Its like none of you have ever played an MMO type game ever. You’d lose your shit in World of Warcraft, your end game gear becomes irrelevant after a single UPDATE.
