Does anyone need year 2 gear to complete year 1 activities?
No.
Why would any company give people part of a product they haven't paid for?

Incredibly stupid response. The OP said nothing about year 2 gear. What he is saying is related to the issue that Legendary gear is no longer acquirable for players who did not purchase TTK and I am sure Bungie will do the same to those who do not purchase ROI. Bungie has stolen from its players by taking content away from them. The highest level gear for non-TTK is level 34 Greens which do not even drop. The highest levels that drop are Level 32 Greens and Level 26 Blues, which are weaker by the way. The question you should have asked is: Why would Bungie sabotage all the games of those players who did not purchase TTK? The reason why non-TTK players need to be level 40 is because all vendor gear and Legendary drops are level 40. If one of these players destroyed all their gear there is no way to get it back.
