Every piece of iron banner armor I acquired two weeks ago is now obsolete. To top things off, reforging my iron banner weapons doesn't give it the new base stats. This game has been tough to love from the beginning but you finally did it Bungie, congratulations.
The key to ultimately losing a player is to make them feel like they've been wasting their time playing.
EDIT: I'm glad to see a heated dialogue has sparked from my gripes. A lot of you have made some very interesting points. Some of you just enjoy the chance to verbally abuse the OP. Either way, happy hunting guardians.

[quote]The key to ultimately losing a player is to make them feel like they've been wasting their time playing.[/quote] Agreed. Since the new IB hit and I saw just what you saw, I now feel much less motivation to play the way I've been playing. A little time to chase a bounty? Maybe. The IB Gear should have been Light Level 32 (the same as IB2 was LL30 ... on par with Raid). That ALONE was a slap in the face. IB Gear is fundamentally less useful than Raid, or Vendor. - It takes glimmer farming to get (most tedious grinding than anything else) - It takes IB grind to get (not so bad and can be fun at least) - Sharding IB weapons/armor get you NOTHING (no energy, no shards, no glimmer). Not even if you've invested shards or energy INTO the weapon (let alone the glimmer to buy the weapon and again to upgrade it). Sharding any other Legendary gets you SOMETHING. No better way to tell your players they've wasted their time than this.
