That’s because it’s generally only the people who want to complain in here that you see. The rest are out having fun playing the game mate. Next season the armour you pick up will be able to take any seasonal mods to date AND you can change the affinity when you first get it. Nothing to see here, I sympathise with those that have masterworked heaps of gear and I hope bungie mistyped or something, but if your enjoying the game you might want to not worry too much about what’s being said in the forums lol - people have a way of letting others opinions change theirs and then fuelling it further....
