Unpopular opinion: Temporary weapon retirement is a good thing.

Temporarily retiring weapons for seasons is a good thing. It creates new meta, forces you to try new things, and resolves power creep. In YuGiOh (for tournaments), certain cards are way too powerful so they limit them or ban them outright for a few months. This forces players to think outside the box when building a deck. Every few months or so the banlist is revisited and revised. Some cards are brought back into the meta while others get benched for a while. For casual play you can use any cards you want. so think of non pinnacle activities as casual play, your weapons are still there to use when ever you want! But if you want to do high power raids or trials then youre going to need to set down your go to weapons and actually have to think about what you are going to bring into the fight. Power creep is fun until everyone is using spare rations, erentil, mind benders etc. Time to shake things up.

  • [quote]Temporarily retiring weapons for seasons is a good thing. [/quote] I'm 50-50 with you on this. [quote]It creates new meta, forces you to try new things, and resolves power creep [/quote] [i]It pokes the meta, leave you no choice but to grind weapons you had before but reskined and somewhat the same stats, and gives you the illusion of getting "new" guns for the money you feed to Bungo while playing the game as you're a new comer every beginning of the season[/i] that's how I would describe it. [quote]In YuGiOh (for tournaments), certain cards are way too powerful so they limit them or ban them outright for a few months. This forces players to think outside the box when building a deck. [/quote] Which force the players to buy the newest booster packs meaning more $$$ for the house while the previous hot stuff you got previously is forbidden to use, what a business isn't it?? Where in video games have we seen this practice but in their own different context 🤔 [quote]Every few months or so the banlist is revisited and revised. Some cards are brought back into the meta while others get benched for a while. [/quote] Later on they(Konami/TCG/OCG) bench out some of the cards listed on the banlist yes, by then there are newer cards with stronger assets or similar effects that makes them more convenient to use that their premier counterpart which now doesn't seem that good but still they resell them in collector editions or special packs just in case you trade em or toss down the toilet cause the banhammer hit the hard so more $$$ for something you already had uhum, like Jimbo Sterling said "Make the inconvenience, sell the solution". [quote]For casual play you can use any cards you want.[/quote] All good right? Except that everyone else that has $$$ booster packs, boxes or collector editions would kick your cholo butt. In Destiny's particular case this would be like [i]oh right you had a Relentless eh?? It has expired but np you can use it, we have now D2Y3 [i]Relentmuch[/i] it also works on end game activities, could be yours just plz hand out your $10.00, valid from this season to the next one (same goes for the weapon cause it now has a caducity as well)
