Read the Loot-Bit in the TWAB and I Can't Say I Like the Short-Term Fix
[quote]Infusion caps are intended to help keep Destiny 2 evolving and ensure that every release the new rewards are exciting and relevant to the meta. However, we agree with your feedback that there’s currently not enough variety in the world loot weapons available to players this season.
To that end we are adding back in a selection of weapons that will help alleviate this issue. We will also be watching to see how the landscape changes with the addition of weapons from Season 12 and this week’s Raid launch. We also agree that getting near-cap weapons from random world drops is frustrating. Thus, we are removing those from the pool, and are weighting drops more heavily towards newer weapons.
Here’s a list of adjustments to the world loot legendary weapons pool you’ll see with our November 24 hotfix:
Remove all legendary weapons that hit their infusion cap at the end of this season
Add all of the Seventh Seraph weapons from Season 10
Add all of the Season 11 seasonal and planetary reprisal weapons
Weight drop chances so the newer an item is, the more likely it is to drop.
While we are not yet ready to dive into the long-term strategy yet, we are listening to feedback and watching how the player build landscape evolves over these first few weeks of Beyond Light, and incorporating that feedback as we plan out future Seasons.[/quote]

For newer players, this might interest them. But to players that have already grinded that old gear out in the past and are satisfied with what they got, this can be seen as just moving around world-loot clutter and it lacks major appeal. This will not alleviate the issue.
The game is due for a more major loot update with actual new gear. And sunsetting makes this so much more important for the game. It won't last with "the few and old" forever. I even took a long hiatus from the game last season and that's saying a lot since I've basically never done that before since Destiny 1 Dark Below. That's how bad the loot situation is and it made me that bored.
Reissuing old content and adding too few things cannot be the solution now with sunsetting. If it didn't appeal to newer players, I'd just say to leave the world-loot pool alone until you've added a lot more newer pieces of gear to it.
And expand on the end-of-activity-specific loot (Strikes, Crucible, Gambit). I'd like to see more of that with new gear.
