The number of people isn’t large enough for me to really make a large decision based on that. The people who don’t like it usually scream the most and the people that are for/don’t care never speak because they assume it will happen anyways. Bungie just straight up needs to post polls all the time since they have no clue what the community wants.

Yeah, this game really sucks

I'm all for sunsetting...

not me, sorry

Unless they overhaul weapons in general, this is the only way they can address certain issues. Is it the BEST solution? I don’t think so, but I assume it’s the easier and less time consuming one. I don’t exactly like it, but it is what it is. I’m here more for the universe and its stories than anything else anyway. I’ll use whatever I can to experience it. More customization would be nice though....

Sunsetting isn't the problem. Year 3 hasn't really had good loot. It's about giving us worthy loot.

well... many people are also for adding alot more of of story , content etc. and making the game great again , doesnt mean its gonna happen

Lmao there been a lot of polls and they vary in which direction they slide.. 6000 people on a pole is a very small sample size seeing as there is between 750k-1mil daily players.. like I for one didnt vote and if I did it would be in favor of gun sunsetting (still reserving judgment on armour). Ghn zunsetting tho needs to happen as the loot poll has become bloated and boring. No new perks can be introduced cause that's just another perk they need to balance and no stronger weapons can be added cause then you start to introduce power creep go keep them stronger and more interesting then the last... I dont know what people arnt getting about it. D1 had sun setting and it worked fine had us looking for new loot constantly instead on using the same loot for years..

Ehhh voting on forums and Reddit’s are false . A huge portion only get in to bash on this game . Some people who don’t even play anymore could have voted negative in it . So I call bs just a bunch of b1tches sad over a video game

That’s not as cut and dried as it might have been. It’s a small poll of 6500 people and it wasn’t like a 90% against the idea. Perhaps some people are simply bored with the weapons as they’ve grown stale through over use and over familiarity?. And it would be interesting to see a breakdown of weapon use by each individual weapon to see how many barely get used in activities. Perhaps they should sunset say, the bottom 20 and replace those on a rolling basis? Just a thought.

They won’t step back. This will happen. Only way they will step back from this if the September expansion sells poorly then they will understand and revert the change to make people buy the expansion. Don’t buy the expansion vote with your wallet and make them step back.

Look, I will try and just give my 2 cents as a veteran player whose main motivation is chasing every single god roll in the game. I am a collector player, and a looter game should be the type of game that welcomes me and respect my time, every single weapon in my vault is a god roll with months or years of time to get it and some from as far as black armory i am still chasing (Still haven't gotten my god roll blast furnace and spare rations). Every season I get the god roll of every new weapon. All this time I poured will be thrown in garbage as this gear I suffered so much to acquire will get an expiration date. What is the point of me playing then if the main reason i play no longer exists (And in fact I quit since they announced sunsetting and wont return till is 100% off the table). Its sad because I really enjoy destiny, and I feel most players feel the same. Most of the emotions veterans collector players feel now isn't rage but deep disappointment that bungie values them so little. I will not go into rage mode or get into winning matches with players for this thing, but for me it ruins the experience, and honestly makes me just not care anymore. The worst is that instead of trying to compromise a better solution, or working to make interesting content, bungie and lots of players just say to collectors like me that I should accept it and keep running the hamster wheel. Well, I will not. Hope they come around but i am realistic enough to know this isn't likely.

Bungie has listened and clearly acknowledged that the players don’t want this. What you’re forgetting is what part of the past many years have they shown they care? Sunsetting isn’t really going to hurt their button line enough to deal with the loot persisting. As a free game, people will play so they can now disregard the community with little punishment If realistically anything

Unfortunately, sunsetting was the only logical choice. They could have tried to continue with the huge amount of weapons and armor already in the game, but that had become unsustainable. Or they could have deprecated nearly every weapon, and that would have upset a lot more players. Sunsetting was the compromise. All you can do is hope that Season 12 brings good content that makes gamers excited about the game again.
