Stop saying "gear will be usable in most of the game", sunsetting gear will affect seasonal content.
Sunsetting weapons will make them obsolete in MOST of the game. Not just Raids, Trials, IB.
All seasonal content is light DEPENDENT. So when new seasons drop, and new activities, and the activities that linger, you will HAVE to use gear that gives you the highest EFFECTIVE light possible.
So no, you won't be using your sunset gear in "most" of the game.
They should sunset vendor, and world drop gear to make room for new vendor and world drop gear. They should not sunset ANYTHING that required a quest or time investment to acquire.
As described it is an exercise in stupidity.
**Edit**
The one thing people should consider: It doesn't need to be this way.
World drops, are the gear that should be rotated in and out. Banshee, Zavala, Shax... That is where you pad the loot pool, update it annually, sunset the old gear, keep the game fresh.
Seasonal gear, quest gear, pinnacles... This gear should not have a power cap. This gear is not just random. People actually invest time in it. So the seasonal/quest gear needs to be unique. Give people a reason to use one thing over another.
As presented, all they are doing is the same thing they always do. Controlling player choice to cover up a lack of creativity.

In all of this content, sunsetted weapons [i]well be usable,[/i] hence the “majority.” The minority of content that sunsetted weapons will not be usable is in current seasonal activities, iron banner, trials, grandmaster nightfalls/The ordeal, and any future raid release. You can argue this is all of the most important content, and that is true for the majority of players. But at the same time you’d be surprised how often I have 950 and even 750 weapons I use on a daily/weekly basis despite me being 1010 power. There is just no need to infuse them unless they are going to be used in this specific content.
