So sun setting is happening and nothing we say will prevent it. However I suggest a bandaid for this to help pacify the community. I suggest that the idea of a weapon/armor no longer dropping after sunset remain the same, however, starting at season of the undying, if u masterwork a weapon that was sunset or about to be sunset, the max power level is extended by 1 and only 1 season. This will protect players that like a particular weapon type. For example there is only 1 150 legendary energy hand cannon. If none drop in the next 2 season, or are raid exclusive and u are unable to do raids, then u are fine for 1 more season with jack queen king. This incentivizes players to masterwork weapons or armor knowing that they get a little more time. I feel this is a good compromise considering how expensive masterworking can be. Especially for armor.

And then at the end of the next season the players will want it extended once more.
