Question for devs: why were so many Year 1 weapons nerfed, only to be left behind in Year 2?

I would appreciate some insight from Bungie on this, because nerfing gear that's [i]already[/i] being outmoded just doesn't make sense. Yes, they'll still be more or less viable in PvP, but I'm sure most players would agree that, at its core, Destiny is a [i]PvE-driven[/i] game. With that in mind, 2.0 seems to be aggressively beating a dead horse, and I'm curious as to why that is. When the 2.0 balance notes were released, I was actually [i]really[/i] happy. Yes, some of our favorite OP weapons were getting nudged back to reality (maybe some a little [i]too[/i] much), but, overall, it seemed like a much-needed revamp of the current Meta. [i]However[/i]; I was only on board with the nerfs because I assumed that it was preparing Year 1 gear to mesh with Year 2 gear on [i]the same level[/i]. Now that it's come to light that ALL Year 1 gear is being left behind at current levels, I'm confused at why so many weapons were nerfed to begin with! The only way I can see the balancing making sense is if Bungie [i]is[/i], in fact, planning to allow Year 1 gear to be upgraded to Year 2 levels; if not in TTK, then in a future update. Either way, I think I can safely speak for the rest of the community in saying that Bungie needs to publicly address this issue [i]directly[/i], and stop beating around the bush with vague statements and misdirections. :P
