If you're getting at why people keep year 1 weapons and armor, perhaps it's because the game revolves around accomplishments, and the loot is what evidences and tells the story of those accomplishments? Or the fact that Year 1 gear offered perks that are no longer available? I don't mock or begrudge anyone who uses the same few weapons for everything, or deleted everything that isn't a "God roll." You might consider affording those that play the game differently than you the same courtesy...
