2 things people claim Sunsetting solves: 1) Power Creep 2) Balance Eriana's Vow is by far the best weapon to use in Grandmaster Nightfalls. It has anti-barrier rounds, a 9 round magazine, auto-loading holster, 38 rounds in reserves, and it does more damage than 90 rpm sniper rifles. The only way to get people to stop using Eriana's Vow is by either nerfing it (balance) or by introducing a better weapon (power creep), both of which sunsetting is supposed to solve all on its own. Exotics aren't being sunset and we still need to balance weapons or risk power creep. So what is the point of sunsetting if the same issues persist? If you say that Bungie can just balance the OP exotic, I AGREE WITH YOU. I'm just saying that they can also BALANCE OP LEGENDARIES. Example: Revoker - Precision kills transfer any ammo the enemy drops to your reserves. Recluse - Buff precision damage only. One weapon just proved how flimsy and ineffectual sunsetting is. It doesn't make me want to get new gear, it makes me not care about gear. I went from playing 30 hours a week to 3. I should be excited about the big expansion, instead, I'm considering skipping it. As a veteran player, this reminds me of what happened in D2Y1. I didn't like any of the changes, but I bought the game anyway. I refuse to do that again.
