Think of it this way...if they weren't going to carry over exotics like Ghorn and IB from year 1 then why would they be nerfing them? Think people. They will be upgradeable there just won't be NEW versions of them with the reworked perks.

That was my first thought. But then I realized there are two reasons: - they're still basically the same in regular crucible - nerf + no upgrade would be the perfect one-two punch to force people to move on to new weapons

If it stayed at 160, the nerf wouldn't be needed. 120 below other weapons is a huge difference in power so nerfing it wouldn't be needed. People are misunderstanding this. "UPGRADE" is different than "UPDATED". Year one exotics will all be UPGRADEABLE, but only certain exotics have an UPDATED version. Bungie wouldn't be wasting their time nerfing and balancing a bunch of exotics if they weren't upgradeable to new attack values. Why you think they aren't doing any weapon balancing on the Suros? Because it has a UPDATED version. If you look at the exotics from year one that are being balanced, none of them have year 2 versions. They wouldn't be balancing them if they were being left behind in year 2.

Yeah, I'm sure, but remember they expect a bunch of new players when the bundle is released. They will have a long way to go before using the level 40 exotics. We will have to grind some XP to use them too. In the meantime, Y1 is still useable.

But if base weapons have a higher attack rating I'm guessing they won't bother using raid weapons. Honestly all they really have to do is play the story and they'll have weapons that will be more powerful than raid weapons from my understanding.

I suspect getting to level 40 to use these new toys is going to take a while. Maybe not as long as 29-30 preTDB, but a significant time investment. That's the level CAP, at which point we can use the new stuff. Plus, if you remember, even having a higher attack value on the old system didn't mean you did more damage to very low level stuff. Shooting a Minitour of level 18 is the same at 20 as 34 in terms of damage. Same is true of taking damage.
