Look bungie I get it power creep is hard to balance but straight up throwing our gear in the bin completely defeats the purpose of playing a looter shooter. I and many others play for growth if my gear has only a 9-15 month life span that means my growth is nothing that means my time is wasted and that translates to me taking my time and money to another game that does respect my time. Honestly I don't know who this is for a casual player that only plays the game for a short while will only have a handful of guns that they like and use might even buy a skin, do you really think that someone who probably only has a few "god rolls" is gonna like their gear getting trashed. Hard core players like me that spend hours and hours just to get the gun that they want and to repeat that processes until they have a full set will hate it for obvious reasons.
