I don't understand why people think the sunsetting is to balance anything.
Sunsetting itself won't rebalance at all..... but depending on what changes/nerfs/buffs to weapons and mods happens at the same time of the sunsetting then those changes likely will.
I personally believe there will be changes made to weapon classes across the board for beyond light and It may hide behind the sunsetting as it would be the perfect time for a rebalance esp for ninja nerfs that will no doubt occur.
Sunsetting imo anyway is happening for one reason alone and that is so that players have to start fresh, grind for new (or reintroduced) gear and then regrind for god rolls.
It's merely just an artificial way to get players (or at least the dedicated player base) to play, aka grind more.
Sure the side effects of sunsetting may sway what people use more initially but once players start to identify and collect the new meta weapons It will all settle back into place until the next sunset then rinse/repeat.

The problem I think the problem here is: They don’t have the creativity anymore. That just turn out lazy. I know create a new content and new weapons required a lot of work. That’s mean spend money to pay the people that make them. But, if they do a good job since the beginning people will play more and buy more. That’s my opinion.

I agree they drip feed content and actual new content is minimal so yes I believe they are being lazy aswell Yet they seem to be able to make many cosmetics that can be purchased and sure it's not hard to knock up simple meshes and textures for ships/sparrows/ghosts etc hell I've dabbled in 3D modelling in the past so I know It's not difficult esp when the coding is there to get it all ingame and working. But they want us to grind their new missions, strikes, raid etc It doesn't matter if the rewards are not as good as what we had in the past many will still grind for the best of what's available to come, hell I'm going to miss my loaded question fusion that I've had forever as it's a really strong weapon and clears adds easily (also does decent boss damage and is a ohk in pvp depending on landing the required # bolts of course) For the most part many of the sunset gear will still be usable just not for the new endgame activities again probably done to make us grind the new endgame and not just do it once or twice for the sake of it or for achievements. I'll give beyond light a shot as I don't judge anything before I experience it but I'm at least hoping the new gear will be as good as the old at the very least.
