The impossible problem with sunsetting

I think everyone knows why sunsetting is a bad idea at this point I’m not hear to beat a dead horse but what I’m hear to talk about is something that I don’t hear. Weapons ornaments. You heard me right, what about the thousands of silver me and many other people spent on legendary weapon ornaments in the past are they going to get refunding when sunsetting happens ? And I can already hear the replies “but... but ... but you can still use it in normal content” first off I didn’t buy the ornaments for any normal weapons that I’m gonna take into vanguard strike I buy it for weapons that I can use EVERYWHERE. Games like apex legends have stated themselves that they will not be vaulting old guns because they value the money people have spent on their games, can’t say the same about bungie. Listen I think people are always hard on bungie when they mess up but this is just pure Idiotic, please rethink. Oh and for anyone saying “too bad” it’s not the money I care about, it’s the shady business practices.

  • Weapons should have transmog as well. Plenty of other games can do it.

    • Well you bought the weapons for something that was not guaranteed. Tough. Plus sunsetting is great IMO so worth

        • Just another thing to file under the "Sunsetting is a Scam" folder. Sunset my gear, sunset my business.

        • You can still use the weapons and the ornament.

          Sunsetting is not an impossible problem. Bungie sunset our weapons in D1, but there wasn't much complaining. You know why? - Factions... - Gunsmith packages... - Vendor refreshes... - Brand new Iron Banner gear... - A solid expansion with an unforgettable raid, a good story and Court of Oryx, which was a great public event... D2 screwed up when it introduced sunsetting by capping our gear and then reintroducing the exact same gear.

            Luke Smith made statements about infusion and wanting our gear to come with us all through Forsaken and into Shadowkeep. They continue selling more and more legendary ornaments. Then they suddenly come up with the revolutionary idea of sunsetting to totally invalidate the gear we bought the ornaments for? Sure, they didn’t technically LIE, they’re allowed to change their minds about game philosophy. But goddamn, that’s the shittiest business practice I’ve seen in a long time.

            • You can still apply said ornament to said weapon.

            • First off, sunsetting has to happen, so they can’t do anything about this. Second, they already said they’ll never sell another legendary ornament in Eververse again, but they can’t do anything about currently existing ornaments. Third, apex legends is a battle royale, not a loot-based game. They do not work the same way and cannot be compared.
