IDK why people are freaking out so much about this tier system, other than the massive grind it's adding. I haven't been able to find a single news story or statement from Bungie saying tier 5 weapons will have better stats, besides the usual one adept mod slot. The only differences is more perk options. How exactly would that affect anyone's ability or skill in most content? Do you usually require someone to switch perks in the middle of a GM? No. So I strongly doubt tier 5 weapons/gear will make any difference in a raid/GM, especially when it'll probably take months for even the most die hard players to grind for that gear.
People seem to be passing off their own assumptions as facts. Bungie has never said anything about boosted stats on tier 5 weapons PERIOD. You all need to stop spreading misinformation. We know next to nothing about the world/gear tier system.

Yeah, but you try telling that to the Low IQ contingent that play this game. They think Adept is better and will do the same about Tier5. NOTE: Esoterick knocked off GMs recently with Blue gear out of Collections. It's not about the guns.

It's not about stats on gear.. it's about being able to do the activities to get the gear It's about LFG saying if you're not good enough to get to tier five gear I don't want to you in my group

Bro that’s just common sense. Why would anyone want to slog through say a tier 5 with a group that should be in tier 2? When you buy a game you don’t buy the right to be carried, earning end game loot is solely on the person who wants it.

But this is the issue - average players won't play anymore - pre orders are already very low & the current population mostly live in endgame (master raids, ultimatum dungeon, trials) the average need winning back & this does the opposite.

I understand that and I agree, but you can’t expect good players to carry average/below average players through hard content. Most want to get through a particular piece of content and move on to the next tier/level, and if they aren’t able to do that at the speed they like/expect then they will quit too.

There's no solution & the game is in real trouble is the takeaway for me

Destiny has been in trouble since before revenant and bungie just keeps throwing dirt on the game.
