Weapon retirement only benefits influencers and content creators

Considering the changes are already in place, this is probably pointless... But I need to say how hard I find it to agree with legendary weapon retirement. The only people who benefit from it are influencers who literally play the game for a living... The players that grind all the new content day one, and are tired of the game before the first reset. Regular players that have a life outside of Destiny, but really enjoy the game are being punished. We don’t earn rewards as fast as Youtubers, and when we actually do complete a strenuous quest for a great weapon (Recluse, Mountaintop, Buzzard, Loaded Question, etc...) it feels like an amazing accomplishment. Bungie is taking away the value of that accomplishment by limiting the activities we can use those weapons in. Each weapon in our arsenal has personal value, and we grow to love our own particular load out to cater to our own particular play style. I’m not bored with Recluse because I don’t stream 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. And I’m proud of the fact that I went outside of my comfort zone and grinded competitive pvp to earn it. I don’t have a Mountaintop, because I use grenade launchers sparingly and I don’t wanna use lfg to cheese my way to a pinnacle reward. However, I am earning it, slowly but surely, only for it to be irrelevant in endgame content after this season. Why should a huge fan of the game be penalized and have their personal arsenal limited, just to cater to a small selection of the fan base? What’s done is done, but I would feel some type of way if I didn’t voice my opinion on this issue. And even tho Bungie won’t see this, and furthermore won’t care, I feel like this is a huge mistake. Don’t take away what we’ve worked hard to earn. It takes a lot away from the game that I’ve been playing for the last 6 years and leaves a sour note when thinking about the future of the game.
