This must be your first MMO type game.

Lel The only one I've played extensively.

Making gear from one expansion to the next is common affair when it comes to games with a progression system.

Progression should progress, not negate itself cyclically. I get the whole mmo argument, but that doesn't in any way mean it's a good system just because it's always been done like that. That's flawed reasoning.

True. But you're gonna have problems either way when it comes to such a system. Bungie would probably be better off leaving some form of progressing your old gear, but having new weapons give the old ones a run for their money.

*social shooter

It's modeled like an MMO. Get over it

Ah, so that makes candy crush saga also an MMO, y'know, there's 'progression' and 'social activities' in that too. It is nothing more that a glorified social shooter with a few MMO elements. Get over it.

Do you not understand the word modeled?

An unfinished game, that's still being experimented on and I'm gonna say this now. If they make it to ten years with destiny by the 10 year mark they will have perfected it. Everything before is a beta.

You're right on that, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating now. Lol. I hate the back and forth nature on everything. Come up with a solid progression system that emphasizes choice and freedom, and a rewarding feeling from the grind. Then leave it alone. Etheric light was a good step, now it's one step forward, 2 back.

Did you play Destiny for the first year just so you didn't need to find gear in year two?

If you want to be objective you played Year One to kick ass in a FPS shooter with MMO elements unlike anything currently on Console. If you want to be subjective: To have a hand in the story, you were there for each of the previous activities that players who are new to the game will recognize as pre-existing lore. You're their Kabr, their Shin Malphur, their Toland. That, and to collect all the Exotics early and have a hand in collecting the data that resulted in the 2.0 balance patch as well as the hits to Valus and the Psion Flayers. To be there to change the Cryptarch's bad trading system and to reap the rewards of cheese and the Loot Cave/laugh as you stop the Caver's shenanigans. To be there, when not but the strength of your shotgun could carry you into the upper echelons of Crucible leaderboards with not a concern for munition conservation. To be here, when Thorn and Juju were terrible and SGA was even WORSE than it currently is. To be here! When there was but 30 spaces in your Vault, when the Interceptor was OP, when High Impact Autos were kings which fell to the tragic irony of Thorn accounting 50% of all primaries, when the Black Hammer had infinite ammo, FOR THE ERA OF GJALLARHORN! You, you were here with us for the best and the worst. And the game is better for it and so is your experience with the game's mechanics and tribulations. You're the one who will be the pillar of what the onlooking kinderguardian can achieve. You don't need an old weapon to prove this in the same manner I don't need to brandish my Khovostov to show I pressed A. It's not in the gear, it's in the context.

Because it was fun? You did have fun right? I'm thrilled because I'll have a reason to use new guns! No I don't have a fatebringer or vision of confluence, but would you want to only use the same guns for the entire game? If folks like you are unhappy, I am sorry for you. Not consiscendingly but as a gamer. If you played enough to get all of that, I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you can find a game (maybe destiny) that makes you happy.

Of course I enjoyed it. Read my other replies on this to get a better sense on my opinion. I understand my initial comment is simplistic and could have been more thought out, but I'm at work. Lol
