I'm sure that Bungie's justification is that the new gear will be an upgrade and will not use the word "sunset". The thing is, as many people have already pointed out, there goes YEARS of grinding for the perfect balance of armor pieces that define ones play style. The reverse is also true. A lot of people have adjusted their play style with the armor random perks that they were given. In both cases, player investment plays a big role in game updates. I have not played in a while since I couldn't find any more magic in the once addictive and engaging game that I have ever played. Then again, I also thought that after 10 or so years of playing the game and going through the same grind day after day, week after week, season after season... it's probably time to let go. What's in store in the next expansion? If it's going to be the same grind over and over again, perhaps this game needs to just end.
