As I informed my long-time destiny buddy. That you need all new gear for conquest. I realized, next season, you are forced to engage with the grind if you want to play gm's. This is insanity. My friend immediately decided that destiny would not be something they play going forward. They liked logging in and doing some endgame for loot. Sitting and practicing rotations and learning the fun qwerks of the game. Meaning the fun and weird builds they find are off the table simply because "EqUiP nEw GeAr." Stop this immediately. This will also single handedly kill this game for me sooner than expected. If I go into the next expansion and conquests are locked behind equipping new or featured gear. I'll play the campaign, and that will be it. Give me a 10% dmg debuff or whatever. But forcing a few hundred power level grind every 6 months to play the same content I have already played is absolutely a terrible idea.
