Edit: Cosmo Responded in another post! [quote] Thanks for the feedback. As you may have seen by all of the topics that continue to trend, everyone has really strong attachments to their Year One gear. I will continue to point devs to all of the player feedback about wanting to bring their Year 1 gear along for Year 2. [/quote]
Edit: Bungie is hoping we quiet down. We need to get loud about this! Blow up @deej_bng on Twitter.

“The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete.

Edit: Sharing a nice post. [spoiler] [quote]Fan here. I agree with a lot of people. They've really lied... Or well didn't lie, they took it back with the excuse that this time it's different. Which sadly isn't how it works, I'm not allowed to do that so why should they? Well because they can.
The changes don't upset me. What upsets me is them not keeping their word without apology. There's proof literally all over the forums (and I like Bungie a lot) but even when your best friend is wrong, they're still wrong.
I'm not upset some of the exotics are going away, I'm just upset that they're acting like everything is okay. When it's not. I'm not offended at all but an apology would make me feel better about it.[/quote] [/spoiler]
Bungie,
As a year one player I have had a great time overall. I understand your reasoning for doing this for year 2 is to give "newbs" a fighting chance with new weapons. Having year one start from scratch on weapon collecting is wrong. We all have worked hard to "Become Legend" but now with year 2 we are now ordinary again. Some exotics transfer over but with different perks. That in itself is crazy. Ghorn and Vex as well as others are left behind is just mean. Thanks for the Vault space to hold all our now obsolete guns. What we have seen with exotics per dlc is that they are pretty much useless. You should seriously reconsider the year one guns and armor. You design but we play. You're testing does not amount to the time we all put into this. Instead of talking amongst yourselves you should really use this community form and hear what we are saying. WE WANT OUR GUNS, period.
Since Bungie only responds to technical issues and hardly to posts like these. I challenge Bungie to give a response to this and if these new weapons are trash that we are forced to use, then bring back our exotics for year 2.
Edit: We need the whole community on board with this. Share to as many people as possible.
Thanks for your comments and support. We all need to rally behind keeping our hard work worthwhile.
Edit: I even forgot to add all the POE gear we worked for as well as Trials of "Thorn" I mean Osiris.
My Skolas exotic weapons are trophies of a dying age? We just got this dlc. How is this obsolete? Should we stop playing now? Nothing we do now translates over to the Taken King.
Edit: A shader, sparrow, and emblem is not a reward for obsolete guns I had to grind for. A reward for year one Guardians is to be able to ascend their old weapons. That is a reward for loyalty.
I guess that's all for now.
Edit: Bungie, We are year one. We helped you get this game where it is now. Don't abandon your greatest ally. You said our weapons would follow us and now the year one community is left behind. Guardians band together while the DEV Gods lay down a curse. Year One has spoken!
Edit: Thanks for all the feedback. Year One community has been great. We all made this game great. I had fun. I will buy The Taken King but I do want our guns and equipment to follow as promised. Give me a reason to trade my Ghorn for something better. Create great, don't Dregs Promise me.
Thank you all for your posts and comments. Hopefully this reaches high enough. Keep the thread alive.
I had "Become Legend". I have now "Become Ordinary".
Edit: Look up Bungie Weekly Update from 12/04/2014 The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete. -DEEJ
Edit: Thanks for all the comments and posts! Good or bad or even ones I don't agree with. This is why I like this community and why I am dedicated to this game. It may be dumb but this is my hobby. I have a wife and 3 kids. I'm passionate about my hobby. Some people have WoW I have Destiny.
Edit: Day one of this fight! Let's keep up the fight. Day after day till we are heard!
Edit: Day 2: Over 500 comments! Keep up the fight guardians! We've reached the end of the weekend.
1 post might have it right. That this expansion won't allow it and sales well be down. So the next expansion will guarantee year one exotics to be ascended. I guys we will have to see.
End of day 2: almost 600 comments! Keep it up. It will be hard for Bungie to remain quiet if we reach 1000.
Almost 700 and growing!
Edit: End of day 3. Posts are starting to die down. Thanks to all who keep the bump alive and to all who have shared good or bad. Hopefully this game goes longer than 2 years.
Everyone is starting to finally talk about this. Many posts on YouTube. The community is genuinely upset.
Since some of the new exotics are scout rifles I can't wait! I think Mida Multi tool is great. #not
I Love beating my controller too death to fire 6 rounds at someone within 10 seconds #fingerblister.
Don't let year 2 be the final year. Bungie, you should act now before it's too late!
Use this hashtag and be heard!
#saveourexotics #becomeordinary
Hopefully as time draws closer we'll get answers. Good luck guardians!
[spoiler] Another fellow guardians post. Bump it up! https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148964780/0/0

This post has been up for about a week. Thanks for all your feedback and support.
Only time will tell if we get our gear back.
#saveourexotics
Over 900 comments! Keep it up!
#saveourexotics
Edit: Wow! Thanks for all the support. Coming to this year's end and is been a fun ride. However this weapon balance patch that we've waited for, for so long turned out to be a total bust. SRL was a blast. I'd rather have that then crucible right now. SRL is the only thing that's balanced!
Happy New Year Guardians. Hopefully 2016 will be destined for Legend!
New edit: Thought I'd share this from another post.

Keep this post alive and hopefully infusion for all.
See you out there.

Edit: REPLAYABILITY, does this mean old stuff might be coming forward? Fingers crossed!
NEW EDIT: So... Everyone gets a Gally now? I'm worried. Oh well, I guess it will be a nice collectors piece. Hope it's still exotic.

Edit: I can't believe this has been going on for a year now. Thanks for all the feedback. Some weapons have come through but not all. Maybe get some exciting news today, Bungie Day!

Bump!

-
Bump again
-

Can I bump a few thousand times? Bring me back my guns!
-
So done legendary items made it but it takes forever to drop anything. Such a bummer these are not easier to obtain. I'd like to see re-forging come back as well.
-
I would like the thorn to be a year 2 exotic I worked so hard for that and then a week after I got it taken king came out please add this GREAT GAME
-
Make old legendaries feel like they used to if your going to leave them behind my Proxima Centauri II was epic and I accepted that it probably won't be able to be infused but the perk tree nerf rekt it #RIPLoyolWeapon
-
Bump!!!
-
-
Ayyyy hopefully they continue to bring more stuff. Still waiting on a lot more exotics
-
Some stuff has come through...

Bump.

Bump forever. #saveyourexotics

I could deal with everything set like it is now, as long as we could ascend at least 1 year one exotic, 1 year one legendary, and I would love to be able to ascend my entire iron banner gear set. The very first set, not the second. The weapons of choice for me would be fatebringer, and my VEX.
-
Bump. I equipped my fatebringer, ghorn and longbow in vanguard legacy playlist for nostalgia purposes. Or better yet all of my god damn armor that I grinded iron banner and trials for. I aquired the perfect set of armor for every situation, now to have it collect dust was not my intention when I purchased this game and shaped it for the future, enduring all of the suck to get the gear I own. My guess is that when more games start to come out they'll release a patch to allow us to ascend year one gear to bring players back.

People still upset about this issue? Damn.
