The "every strike should be in strike playlist" is a no brainer. I simply don't understand why excluding the nexus and septiks is a thing. Based on the fact that imago loop can roll as a functionally identical fatebringer we can tell that the only reason (besides just being dicks) why fatebringer is trapped in year one is because it does elemental damage. This also applies to things like the vision of confluence, fang of ir yut, or really any raid weapon: there is at least one functionally identical weapon stat wise, just without elemental damage. If elemental damage is so important to leave behind then just have delta scaled year one activities and update the loot pool to have the 300+ old raid weapons only do kinetic damage. This would sadly mean that black hammer would have to not drop in the new loot table since black spindle already exists and it would be dumb to have a legendary and an exotic do the same thing. Maybe white nail could be replaced with another perk like perfectionist or triple tap? It won't be the same but it'll still be a gun. Personally I'd still let skolas weapons do elemental damage as an apology for shank burn and as a fair trade off: the gun blows and only has two real perks but it has arc damage or whatever. This really falls under the "this is obviously better for the game but whoever is in control at Bungie is optional matchmaking tier stubborn about not letting it happen"
