I agree.
Sunsetting only really works if it’s replaced at an equal level. If sunsetting only gives a dozen new weapons then the loot system is still broken.
I can’t see Bungie showering us with loot as it would still be the same issue as all loot staying viable.
Bungie seems to lack the man power and resources to really make a loot game as right now it feels like it’s there is a push for very small meta only loot pools which seems more consistent with a Halo game (weapon wise) than a looter shooter.
It’s not a manpower issue.
It’s that this game was literally designed NOT to permit it. By a group within Bungie who wanted this game to be a successor to Halo and a pvp-focused game.
Those guys are gone now, but those who remain inherited the wreckage they created.
Bungie has been trying rebuild the foundation of a house while people are actually still living and playing in it everyday.
