Capping older legendaries is not a good idea.
The recent news that older legendaries will eventually be capped at a certain light is a bad idea. I'm not just saying this because I don't want to change my load out but because that eliminates the choice as a player to what weapons I can use. Why would I bother farming a god roll when it has planned obsolescence. That literally restricts what weapons I can actually use in the game and in a game about getting guns this will be a horrible backfire. I like using new weapons but if I want to use them I will so don't go forcing me to ditch what I like to use just because it's old. I'm interested to here what other people have to say on this because this is definitely not something that should be put in this game.

They said the expiration date would be like, 9-12 months. That's a year. After that, they refresh all core activities with new loot. As long as that loot is both new and powerful, this has the potential to be a good way to keep things fresh. If the meta from 2 years ago is viable in every endgame they produce, every new weapon Bungie produced is immediately devalued and sharded. Have most raiders farmed Sundial for good weapons? How about the Vex Offensive? No. Absolutely not. Simply because when compared to the current meta that's from several seasons ago, those weapons can't compete. "The loot wasn't good enough to chase" arguement doesn't work when "good" is relative to the meta. They probably would be fairly effective (maybe not top tier) if we didn't have the best of the best from 3 seasons ago still available. So if we get new and powerful and legendaries, this is good. That would immediately bring value to PvP, strikes, Gambit, etc. every season (rather than what we have now - high upfront value but nothing long term.) If not, we're doomed to a cycle of weak weapons or not enough loot. So we'll see.
