I'm not a fan of keeping the same weapons forever, I want to use new gear. As it stands now, the drops from PoE are shocking compared to the VoG drops, there is almost no reason why you would take any of the PoE weapons over the older weapons now. I want to feel a sense of progression in the game, that was present in the dark below, just not in HoW. I think in future you should have the option to dismantle an old weapon but keep 1 perk from it and add it to a new weapon of the same type. Would mean that you would be progressing your power level whilst keeping some of the flavour from your old weapons. This would also keep old content relevant but not at the cost of new content, want firefly on your hand cannon, get yourself fatebringer from VoG, dismantle and add the perk to your new, more powerful hand cannon.
