People keep asking the question as though it is powerful or thought provoking. The answer is simple. Yes. If we like a certain legendary, it resonates with us, it feels right to us, and we've made it our own, as a part of our guardian, as a part of our character, and as a part of our destiny, why would we want to abandon that? Guns come and go, sure, but the ones we really like stick around just as much as the ones that do the work. How many of you still carry a Stranger's Rifle for keepsake? How about your old Khvostov? Bet that little beaut still has a home in quite a few of your vaults, despite how little use it may see? The point is, Destiny is just as much a role playing game as it is a shooter. In role playing games, you play roles, to play roles, you invest in your character and immerse yourself in their lifestyle and world environment. It's really hard to play a role, if your character's tried and true, sweat and steel, big 'ol hip iron, is gonna be rendered effectively useless to the point of being forced to utilize new weaponry. It's understandable if our gear is gonna be put on the shelf for a while, we get that, there's new toys to try and you want us to enjoy the fruits of your labor rather than shun it away in favor of our precious blasters, but you have to realize at some point down the road, we're gonna want to nostalgia, we're gonna wanna meet back up with old friends, and those dusty guns in our vaults are gonna want to breath fresh fire, hot with velocity, once more into the skulls of enemies not keen to take them. And when that times comes, we should hope the options are in place for us to rekindle the light in our boomsticks, and make some noise with them once more, rather than leave them on the shelves to be reminders of what we've lost. Edit: Since so many seem to be assuming I'm just another Fate Bringer fanboy giving out free tears, let me just put that to rest and say I don't even [i]have[/i] a Fatebringer, nor do I want one, nor do I even use or like Handcannons. If it must be stated, my personal favorite treasured weapon I wish I could bring with me to year 2 and have it maintain it's stats, is just Jolder's Hammer. Nothing super special, nothing from a raid, nothing OP. Just my trusty ol' warhorse, Jolder's Hammer. Edit 2: Lot of people chiming in to say 'no' or 'I disagree' or 'No we don't'. And that's fine. We're trending though. So for all your claims that I am alone in my plight, just count. On your fingers if you must. This is not some drop in the bucket minority whining about a petty concern. This is the culmination of a year's worth of work and effort being reduced to dust. And we aren't happy about it. Edit 3: Thank you so much for the support, replies, and overall solidarity in standing with me on this issue. We may not see the results we are after, we may not even change anyone's minds, but if nothing else, we will be heard.
