Edit 3: Soooooo, now that year 1 exotics are included in the "left behind leper colony," except for a select few year two versions, how does everyone feel? That one just rubs it in even more. Funny how even more people (some who laughed at this very post and others like it) are coming out of the woodwork and jumping on the ascension bandwagon now. "You need to grow up... MMOs do this all the time... Your tears are del..... WTF?!?!? MY EXOTICS, NOOOOOOOOOO!" Yeah. Told you so. The Bungie troll is real folks. ----------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL POST: So, Bungie wants us to try new things, new weapons, new gear? All the stuff I spent hundreds of hours grinding for and perfecting will be obsolete in TTK? Yeah. I will do just that. I will be playing Fallout 4, Battlefront, Dark Souls 3 and a few others with new guns and gear. Want to force me to leave my old weapons and gear behind?!? DONE! There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to play this game right now. Anything you get will be worthless in a month. OH and if you do get something awesome... Don't worry. The nerf police will squash it into obscurity like they did with Suros, and Vex. Next on the chopping block are The Last Word, Thorn, Icebreaker, Gjallarhorn and any legendary with perks that were actually good. But don't worry, you can still represent your OG status with that super awesome emblem. SOOOOOO much better than a GUN or PIECE OF ARMOR. I seem to remember some B.S. quote from Bungie at launch about how certain pieces of gear would make people go "wow, that player has done something awesome!" Yeah, that emblem will really nail that feeling. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/08/04/destinys-year-one-legendary-weapons-staying-behind-in-year-two-9432.aspx That GameInformer article killed this game for me. Buh Bye! Edit 1: Welp... It only took 30 minutes to be the top trending post.... And mysteriously disappear from the trending list! Bungie-shame on you. Unreal. Edit 2: Appreciate all the support and constructive comments. You all got this back on the trending list despite the mysterious hiatus yesterday. The forums feel like mobs with pitchforks... Keep the feedback coming, we may get a message through. As for the few cynics who replied, thanks for making me think about it a bit more but nothing has changed. This step pushed me off the cliff. Also, this isn't WoW. It just isn't. The comparisons are unmerited. WoW is a button masher facade on top of a gear management game. Destiny is an FPS with gear and stats.
