Some of the pinnacles were or are a problem sure. Frankly they shouldn’t have existed in that form in the first place and probably wouldn’t have, if bungie hadn’t to compensate for making us slow and powerless around that time. IMO best way to deal with them now is to make them exotics, cause the hoops people jumped through to get them were beyond your ordinary exotic quest. The way they deal with this now, by capping them out of the front lineup and replacing them with most likely weaker versions or not at all is bound to piss people off, that’s not hard to understand. As for the perk combos, in most games you have “junk gear” to make others stand out. Not every perk combination has to be good or godly. Sure there are powerful combinations of weapons, sometimes too powerful, but that can be addressed with balance passes. The loot pool needs to be big. I’m not sure bungie can keep up with mKing enough new weapons to fill it out again. I really hope we’re not go be stuck with a handful of relevant weapons each season. As for the armor, with them doubling down on masterworking currencies and then just sunsetting ,basically people’s grind time ... that is just kinda rude. I think they should at least consider dismantling old masterworked gear to have worthwhile return of materials. I hope they’ll shower players with new and viable loot (without the indirect convoluted “charged w. Light” shit please) in the coming expansion. Cause if they keep re-issuing old crap they’ll not make many friends.
