Respectfully, I must say I have to disagree with you. Implementing this would destroy the gradual progression that your characters make along the course of the game. Think of it as a staircase. You're trying to get to the top but when you take away the first step it makes it harder.

  • I appreciate your outlook. I did think about this a bit and my conclusion was that Destiny is unlike 99% of all traditional MMOs and any type of game that has a loot system. The way they made the game is that you get a simple weapon from a drop and in order for it to be better you must level it up and work on it. A really cool idea in theory but in practice what it does is cause people to become frustrated when new content gets released and you have to abandon all your hard work. Ill give an example. World of Warcraft does not have a leveling based system for its weapons or armor. Because of this when a new expansion comes out people generally arent sad that they need to get rid of their old gear because that just "comes with the progression and leveling process". Recently they implemented a way to at least bring back the "Look" of old gear by letting you "Transmog" it. Its also important to note that because Destiny at this time does not reward you as quickly and easily as games like this, it makes the player become even more frustrated because they think that they need to dump more and more time into the game just to "Get back to the place they were at". I think that this is the fundamental problem with the way loot works, and until we as a community can stop "hating" on bungie for making mistakes, we need to realize that this game is new and unique, to expect it to work perfectly is just unreasonable. Im really optimistic about this game, and although my idea is very shortsighted and doesnt really solve the main problem, it would greatly help to make the game more fun and enjoyable while Bungie works on a more permanent solution. I know that was long but i hope you have a few things to say. I love discussing stuff. =D

  • I really want transmogrification in Destiny. That'd be really cool. Hands down. What I also want is a way to upgrade you're guns, via the 'useless' gunSMITH right now. He should be able to do something with them. Upgrading the entire loot system for VoG though..., that's not good for the game. What's the point of The Dark Below then if not for story filler?
