The only useful application of “Sunsetting” in a game is to introduce a superior system moving forward. Take armor for instance. Year one static armor was replaced with random rolled armor. Stats could be tailored to your personal preferences for any build you desired. Armor also had the ability to have mods slotted for further build refinement. And ornaments could be attached to achieve a desired look. A superior armor system in every way. So when Bungie said they were Sunsetting guns, I figured we were in for a similar overhaul on weaponry. But nope, same old same old. The fact that MORE guardians are not rising up and voicing their concerns, is well, concerning. What is wrong with forward progress? Now everyone is saying to “let it go” or “it’s better now.” But how can things be better if nothing has changed? The weapon system is exactly the same but with fewer choices....less is more? How is anyone ok with all of this? Keep in mind this isn’t about “keeping loot forever.” But having no improvement in perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of a shooter game, namely weaponry, is cause for concern. It feel like the game is going backwards at worst, or remaining stagnant at best. As a side note, I never cared much about the random rolls on guns. I cared about looks, “feel,” and sound when fired. My favorite AR was the Ringing Nail from the black armory. Loved the way it felt and looked as well as it’s sound when fired. Now it’s gone. My guardians favorite AR is gone because of Sunsetting. If I can’t play my way, I just won’t play. Is that what Bungie wanted?

I think they will backpedal on it hard eventually,because bringing Saraph and Arrival weapons back shows they feel the pressure of little relevant loot I know Bungie,they take the easiest route to solve problems,they will either be a massive re-issue,or they will uncap some weapons

this is what happens when whoever is in charge of making these decisions has a singular caveman braincell and is driven purely off the primal instinct to siphon money from their complacent ass playerbase

Here, I'm going to post another post somone made and you tell me how well that worked out constantly bringing it up, K? https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/253787786?sort=0&page=0 Edit: The next part was in the spoiler and they are all links to those posts.

I personally like sunsetting. I’ve been using way more different weapons this season.

Remember when they said sun-setting will allow them to give us more powerful weapons like recluse?

If sunset pisses you off, you're gonna really hate what bungree has in store for sunrise. Here's a hint: luke smith is replacing all your characters with broomsticks and walruses, in the name of balance

tad bit late. Deleted everything that was no longer viable in the game.....Sure solved their vault space issues....

Sunset my gear, sunset my business.

Sunsetting will never feel good. It made a bad loot system even worse. In Destiny, you cannot mod the weapons themselves. You are totally reliant on RNG. You get what the game gives you. It can take weeks, sometimes months, to get the roll you want. As if that wasn't already bad enough, putting an expiration date on things has the compounding effect of making you feel like it's an absolute waste of time now to do anything other than to play mindlessly and use whatever random 💩 the game gives you.
