I fully agree with this and it needs attention. Another unintended consequence is that all of the PvE end game content will be dropping obsolete gear. Imagine being a new TTK player and clearing VOG hard for the first time and Atheon drops a Vex. You try it out and it absolutely sucks. Making the rewards obsolete makes the content obsolete. It may be a great expansion, but it actually shrinks the game. Also, trials came out a few short months ago. I have collected several adept weapons from it. Now, they will already be obsolete? Fail.
