And to rub some salt in the wound, nothing you get in the game matters now. Why? Because thanks to sunsetting, everything you’ll ever get, regardless if you farmed or earned via quest, now has an expiration date. So you’re burning yourself out for the sake of burning yourself out

Would you prefer the meta just stays the same and you continue having no reason to play the game? Short of trials/IB, does it really matter?

Sunsetting is already a reason not to play. Quest items? Forget it. Perhaps you decide to master work your armor to get the most out of it. Don’t bother, unless you like wasting your time, effort, and precious resources. Maybe do some raids to get some cool gear. Oh wait, they’re vaulting content (even raids) and even raid gear is being sunset. *cue Italian fail song “BuT yOu CaN StiLL uSE yoUR StUfF in LiGHt pVP AnD cASuAl PvE”. Except the meta will render my stuff obsolete (which would’ve changed regardless of sunsetting) and causal PvE gives nothing but junk. Yeah, totally worth doing if you’re trying to level up to max level.

What good are your "precious resources" if not used for upgrading your gear? Pretty much every MMO or game that takes cues from MMOs does this. The point is to incentivize using whatever new weapons are released, not to continue using whatever crap you got 4 years ago because if you could do that, you would have no reason to continue buying and playing expansions.

Sunsetting makes upgrading pointless you knucklehead 🤦🏻

An asserted opinion followed by a failed attempt at being insulting is not a valid argument. You said previously that replaying old content is pointless if you're trying to level up to max level... and yeah, that makes sense. The question is, why do you expect to be able to hit max level replaying old casual PvE content? That's the entire point. The incentive is to go buy the new expansions and play them to get new gear. If you're that upset about it, then maybe you should go play a game that isn't about gear grinding, because I don't think this kind of game is for you.

You’re missing my point. Of course I don’t expect top tier loot from casual content. However, that’s all my stuff will be ever good for now. Can’t take it into iron banner, higher level nightfalls, raids, anything considered endgame. Making your things useless isn’t an incentive for re-grinding the same things. While other games do the same thing, you make the choice to leave behind something because you typically find something better. But here, you’re going to be forced to do that without getting anything better for it.

Except of course for shaders, sparrows, ghosts, Triumphs, Titles, materials, Finishers, emotes, power level, Exotics, ornaments, experiences and friends. Maybe armor. Some guns for a year. Hours of fun. Nothing.
