It seems that bungie is dealing with an internal battle trying to make new weapons make a mark, stay current or even be favorable until the next DLC releases and doing so without irritating the community. We need to help bungie figure out how to overcome this obstacle so we can all have a better overall experience starting now and for years to come. Their stats show what we do and not what we prefer. Bungie is awesome at creating multiple universes. Examples; halo and destiny. However, it seems the main issue relies on progression. Destiny is split into 2 things; a universe filled with stories (history) and arsenal /gear that links to that history. We all need a playground to test out the new arsenal for each DLC which they nailed. Progression seems it’s all over the place. I stopped playing POE once I got all three exotics to be honest. I honestly do not want to step near another POE mission because all the POE rewards (queen’s weapons) are not as good or are out classed by vanilla weapons. It’s also hard to understand VARIKS’ roll here. His offerings are armors and weapons that in the long run are designed to just slightly boost the POE experience making it easier. Is that it? The weapons feel weaker than the trials of OSIRIS weapons. I know right! I use the scholar adept solar in THE SKOLAS mission instead. Beat it every time. Everything IN POE was instantly Sharded due to vault space limits. Some know what I mean. Bungie needs to get a long term strategy down for leveling progression on weapons and gear soon! The new customers who jump into destiny now will soon realize that the only thing current is the taken king. Bungie is making everything else they have worked so hard on irrelevant. I am down for moving on but it all seems unfair to new people once they realize no one wants to help them with vanilla raids or missions because of the rewards are not up to par. It will be then they sit and wonder why the heck they spent $80.00. Heck! All raid gear and weapons will be Sharded the same way we do the queens weapons now. I really enjoyed the PVP end game gear and I hope to see a new way to obtain new PVP End game gear. Old Vendors can sell new gear. I hope.
