This is gonna be a bit long-winded, so you have been forewarned. I'm legitimately confused as to why everyone is up in arms about Sunsetting gear. Destiny is a looter-shooter MMO. I've played MMOs for over a decade, and have never minded the concept of old gear being pushed out. It's a natural method of progression in these kinds of games. Hell, Final Fantasy XIV currently does this seasonally: you have the relic gear, the Normal Raid gear, the craftable gear, then the 2 endgame sets (one requires weekly earnable currency, the other is the Savage Raid gear) and your old gear is literally just replaced with this new stuff. You mix and match pieces from these sets to get the ideal stat spread. And then, 4 months later, the next raid comes out, and with it, new Normal Raid gear, new craftable gear, new currency and currency gear, and new Savage Raid gear. All higher level than the stuff that came before it. Time to climb all over again. You don't get to sell off your old gear and get back some of the stuff you used to maximize it, like how you can dismantle your gear in Destiny. You can't sell it for a portion of the new weekly limited currency to save towards your new gear set. It literally is just "this gear is old and the stats are outdated; This gear is new. Get this new set." So the idea of leaving behind the old stuff to make way for new stuff isn't unnatural, to me. Its a natural thing to do. And yeah, we dont know how this new stuff is gonna work out. I didn't know that in 14 either. Sometimes, some of those endgame sets had the perfect stat rolls for my class; other times, they were absolutely shitty statwise, but I still used then because they were a higher level and still provided a better boost in power than my lower-level stuff. And for the whole "they're just gonna recycle old stuff" argument: literally every game does that. Even if it isn't a direct recycle, you'll see the design and aesthetic and think to yourself "this looks just like something we had before." Again, this is nothing new. I think the actual problem here is that this community is too entitled. Anyone who has played any MMO would know why Sunsetting happens, and wouldn't even bat an eye. Why? Because that's the way those games work. Thats the way Destiny works. MMO players have accepted this as part of the game. Because if there's nothing to climb for, nobody is gonna climb. If they don't constantly push the finish line forward, people will just leave. I left after Season of Dawn started because I felt like the game had no progression anymore. There was no point to pushing forward, because there was literally nothing to do aside from PvP, Garden of Salvation, and Pit of Heresy. Now we have Prophecy, sure. But thats not much at all. But we can't just light torches and pick up pitchforks over something like Sunsetting, especially when we have zero clue what this stuff is being replaced by. My Recluse and Luna's Howl hold a special place in my heart, because my wife and I chased those weapons together as a couple. We love those weapons because they mark a milestone that we took on together. Same can be said for us clearing Titan Savage and Shiva Savage in Final Fantasy 14 together. But I wont let that kind of stuff stop me from chasing the next mountain on the horizon. Titan Savage was replaced by Shiva Savage, and who knows what will come next. I will miss my Recluse and Luna when they are sunset. I won't dismantle them because they are precious to me for the memory they hold. I still have several relic weapons in my storage in FF14 for that same reason, even though they are massively outdated; But I'm not going to get angry and weep over their sunset, because I don't know what is going to come next. We might get a legendary weapon that makes vanilla Not Forgotten and Recluse look like child's toys, or makes vanilla Ikelos-SG look like a pillow by comparison. We. Dont. Know. So why are people going to get so pissed off about Bungie pushing people to chase after new stuff?
