In Destiny 2, make a custom statue honoring our Destiny 1 characters in the tower

tl;dr version: Make a statue in the tower showing your year 1 guardians, with a plaque based on your moments of triumph. Full idea- Saw a post asking for Destiny 2 to begin with one first mission where you play as your old guardian, but this overlooks that Bungie probably does not want to bog down the game file by bringing the game assets for EVERY year 1 item for one mission, especially if they changed game engine and all those old files are now in the wrong format. What I am proposing is a place in the tower where three 15-foot-tall statues stand. They are rather abstract, using just the blocky geometry from the Destiny app and the same stone texture all over. If you never played Destiny 1 on this account, they are just generic guardians, but otherwise they are YOUR Destiny 1 guardians, wearing whatever they currently have equipped or whatever they last had equipped once the Destiny 1 servers shut down. Everyone will look at the statues and see there own three guardians. Furthermore, the plaque at the base could even be customized based on the Moments of Triumph associated with your account, reading only the things you did. 1) A new guardian reads something like: "Eyes up, guardian" Guardians of the first world, 2069-2076. Here we honor the first guardians, who braved endless horrors for the City before meeting their ends at the battle of Emperor's Wrath. 2) And experienced guardian reads something like: "Eyes up, guardian" Guardians of the first world, 2069-2076. Here we honor the first guardians, who braved endless horrors for the City. These guardians tore out the heart of the Black Garden and dethroned Xylar the Timeless. They crushed the bodies and souls of all Oryx's lineage, including Crota his prince, before killing the King himself. Twice. They neutered the Fallen, gutting all their leadership both living and synthetic, even choosing to spare the life of Skolas, the prophesied Kell of Kells, just so they could humiliate him in the Prison of Elders again and again for 2 years. Thanks to their valiant efforts, to this day Taniks still has no house. They even rose to the rank of Iron Lords, rebuilding this great league of heroes before bravely meeting their ends at the battle of Emperor's Wrath." I think this would be an enduring tribute that would not be too technologically strenuous. What do you guys think? Bump if you want this.
