All the time and effort we put into grinding for god roll weapons and high stat armor is now wasted because of sunsetting. Not only does sunsetting insult our time investment, but, to add insult to injury, it was implemented in a disastrous way. To make things worse Bungie continuously defends it and says that they're trying keep the meta evolving and stimulate gear diversity. Honestly, I don't see why we need to have a meta at all. There's nearly 1000 weapons in the game, and almost all of them come with random rolls further increasing player options. However, if you want us to use the new gear you come out with each expansion; give us a reason to. Make us want to use the new gear you put out. You want to change the meta? Reward us for using specific weapons. Give us a weekly milestone to get kills using certain weapon types, and maybe add bonus progress if we use weapons from current or recent seasons. This could could be applied to to strikes, crucible, or just be a weekly pursuit to be completed however the player wishes. Give us bonus drops from raid encounters for using gear with the same restrictions. Strikes, and crucible matches could reward bonus tokens, glimmer, XP, or legendary gear. I've put over 3400 hours into this game franchise and now I feel like that entire time has been wasted by Bungie forcing us to cast aside the weapons we put into obtaining them. All the quests we completed for Mountaintop, Recluse, and Not Forgotten are just bad memories now. The quest for Felwinter's Lie even had a bug that brought it to a grinding halt for weeks. Now our time investment is rewarded with a middle finger.
