I was really into sunsetting. I thought it would be good for the game. But I didn’t expect it to be done the way it is being done. First, armor shouldn’t have been part of sunsetting at all. It takes a large amount of time to get god roll armor sets and sunsetting armor does nothing for the game. I was okay with sunsetting world drop weapons, but was expecting them to be replaced with new stuff. Instead its replaced with the same old stuff that we’ve already had, and we are tasked with re-grinding those weapons out again. It has only been the recent TWAB that they announced re-issued weapons returning that will have new perk pools. THIS ( IMO) is a good example of weapons being re-issued in a sunsetting system, but it does nothing if the devs haven’t added new weapons to the game to replace the large amount of weapons being taken out. Since there’s hardly any new gear, even re-issuing weapons seems insulting. The pinnacle weapons that were over powered put more people into the pro sunsetting pool. But the Devs are not replacing the gear with new gear like in previous sunsetting examples, and the gear that is new is super safe. We don’t get anything to replace those super powerful weapons like recluse and mountain top.
IMO, I think the devs should just sunset super powerful pinnacle weapons annually, and just make an awesome pinnacle weapon for each activity with each expansion. Make pinnacle weapons no so grind-y. And revert all sunsetting to armor and world drop weapons.
The sad thing is that sunsetting and Stasis in PvP are combined and causing lots of players to leave the franchise. This will be on the scale of when D2 first launched (regardless to the heaps of negative feedback from the community Bungie stuck with duel primary system, static rolls on gear, and 4v4 PvP. It took them a year to eat crow and go back to the systems that were already working properly) unless the dev implement fixes to these systems.
Stop fixing stuff that ain't broke.

From my point of view, season 13 in addition to the season of the chosen one is also where Bungie is going to play it in every way, one thing is the forum and another very different social networks, twitter for example is sounding very strong. Now, for what 6 elements of eververso are worth, we can buy outriders, many are recommending it but it is also that it comes out on what can be called a critical date and it is in April, if there is nothing transcendent this season 13 ... ..this time we are going to see a lot of people leave, that game has many incentives, also there are more games this year. So I can say that your publication is correct, I really do not think they are aware of the extent of anger of many people in this game, in the end there will not be even hackers because ... why am I going to strive in something that I know I'm going to lose?. have the feeling of finding something great but that we are going to lose in a few months ..... that they no longer have my money.
