So many of us are extremely disappointed with the old gear being made obsolete, it doesn't matter if you had a nice collection of legendaries from engrams, vendors, or the raid its all obsolete. So many of you could probably do withour many of the weapons and armor you have collected except for a handful of faction gear and most likely your VoG gear. So im sure many would appreciate a way to make legendary gear legendary again. We also have a currency that is almost useless except in most situations, Motes of light. Most people are probably hording these with nothing worthwhile to spend them on and probably have a ton of gear they would like to keep. Why don't we add in a way to spend the Motes of light to add light to the gear. It's lore friendly, makes a lot of sense and still makes you work toward something without it being a terrible grind for players who already leveled and upgraded gear. So how it works: Each weapon or armor can be infused 1 time per level cap extension with motes and mats (weapon parts or armor parts respectively) in order to bring them up to the new damage and armor caps. probably around 16 mats + 6 motes for each upgrade. - legendary weapons can all be brought up to 331 damage like current legendary weapons, but mods and attachments cannot be changed so VoG weapons still have their advantages based on mods and stats 16 weapon parts/6 motes per upgrade. This could be a new function of the weapon smith -Armor can be brought up to match the contemporary equivalent. IE old faction/vanguard gear can be brought up to max defense cap and 33 light instead of 27. a limit on infusions will keep it so these old armors cannot match gear from the new raid. - Old raid gear ONLY can be infused to match new raid gear but may require more mats , exp 25 armor parts + 10 Motes -None of the armors or weapons should have to be re leveled or "re upped" again with this process. That was a terrible idea with exotics and would be even worse for legendaries. In this way we can add a use for items that are sparsely used, old weapons and armor can remain in use by veteran players, and every gets to see variety in all games modes instead of the same new stuff used by everyone. I offer this suggestion because unlike other MMO's Destiny has the unique idea to make you put time and materials into gear to be invested in it. For them to then make everything obsolete does not work well in the current mechnics like it would in other MMO's. Consider most other RPGs do not make you invest time and materials to unlock the potential of a weapon or armor and the few cases that do often let you recover some cost and time by removing the upgrades to be used in other weapons or allowing it to be sold by in game economy (which does not exist in Destiny) or traded in a player economy ( also does not exist in destiny ) The bottom line is that in this type of game there needs to be a way to keep all the 'legendary' gear old and new relevant or you will continue to see a more diluted selection at each expansion. Otherwise why are we calling this gear legendary if its so disposable. EDIT: Radiant materials and commendations are just a terrible idea i have removed any suggestions for using them
