Goodness sakes, I cant say this enough, please don't remove old classes and gear from the game in Destiny 2. I've worked my poor thumbs off trying to get this gear, and I don't want it all to go away. The gear is one of the reasons I like Destiny more than Halo. The fact that I could carry over my gear is why I even bought Rise of Iron. If you make me start over in Destiny 2 I will literally track your employees down one by one [spoiler]Just Joking[/spoiler]. But really bungie, this game will lose so many players if it restarts. Come on guys of the Destiny community, did you really grinds for days in strikes, raids, Iron banners and Trials Flawless runs to have it all taken away. We need bungie to see this, before they ruin it all. Edit: So I've heard all of your sides, and here is what I think would fit Destiny 2 the best. Unless I can keep all of my gear. You start as a new character, a new subclass of guardian, the opening cut scene enters on a tale of the original, 'Guardian" (If you were a Original Destiny player it would look like your guardian the day before the game came out.) And talks of the wonders the Guardian preformed for the old tower. It also tells of how He/She fell in one final battle for the City. Then there is the new Story, where at one point you get to meet the ghost of your first guardian who tells you about Him/Her, new campaign and new gear. But then at endgame, original Destiny players get to get sent on a quest that redeems their favorite emblems shaders, ships and sparrows. Maybe even a few choice pieces of Exotic and Legendary Gear. The also get to design an Artifact and name it after their previous guardian and give it special powers.
