Judging by some of the previewed weapons, the stats of those weapons arent much better, even worse, than of those we already own...
So i dont get the frustration of some people saying that the new system might ""sunset"" older weapons or making them obselete...

The weapons won’t be as big as a difference than the armour no. This is something I wrestled with a while when adepts came into the game. I always want the ‘best’ loot even if it’s marginally better or not even noticeable in terms of gameplay. I enjoy going for those ‘trophies’ but Bungie see a FOMO culture propagate and even a sense of entitlement that all players believe they should get these items. They made every reward more accessible and less special and now anyone can get an adept and everyone thinks they should have the best gear. I see this culture more than ever and there will be uproar if all players can’t get tier 5’s but I think Bungie just need to ride it and keep them special. I’m certain all weapons we currently have will be able to complete every PvE and PvP pursuit that will be introduced.
