Y1 Weapons More Attainable?

[u][b](My short summary of what I want is written in bold at the bottom of this post, if you want to check that and then read through the rest if your interested)[/b] [/u] Hey everyone, so I have been thinking recently about all the awesome year 1 weapons that a lot of the community loved and some hated for different reasons. I then thought about the weapons that are still 'available' from year 1, with [i]relative ease [/i], however that is still dependent heavily on RNG, these are the queens weapons and prison of elders weapons, namely Her Benevolence and the Shadow of Veils from PoE chests on lvl 28, 32, 34, and 35 PoE. There are also the weapons you can obtain from reward screen engrams at the end of 28, 32, 34 and 35 PoE completions (these include all vanguard, crucible and faction weapons from the House of Wolves). Regardless, the amount of Y1 weapons still obtainable are a fraction of a fraction when looking at the armory that was available in Y1, and they are unbelievably difficult to obtain (I completed over 100 lvl 28 PoE's before I got a legendary engram to drop from the reward screen). I think there should be a way to obtain these year 1 weapons in the current game. I want to clarify a few things. Firstly, they would remain at Y1 light level, so they would not be viable in trials, iron banner, or any current PvE activities. Additionally, these would still be somewhat rare to obtain (they will not replace the loot, they will be an optional addition). Also, some players may say, "I was playing at the time, I have my weapons as a relic of Year 1, why should everyone get those weapons?", to this I would argue that emblems and shaders and ships (though to a lesser extent) should be the relics of the true golden age of destiny (Year 1). As for how they would drop, I think it could be made an option (and because it is destiny, RNG will still play an immense roll in your chances of getting a weapon you want). For example, a true Legacy Playlist for both PvE and PvP, in which you could obtain all the old weapons that used to drop from Y1 strikes and Crucible matches (BTRD, Matador, Party Crasher, Hopscotch Pilgrim, Low Grade Humility, Snakebite Surgeon, etc.). If you make it to the lighthouse there could be an option to collect Y1 loot (chances at the messenger, the scholar, the jewel of osiris, the summoner), If you complete a nightfall, maybe a possible drop (in addition to standard loot) could be a vanguard, or faction weapon from Y1. When turning in the Shaxx Weekly Bounty, an option could make itself available to select a Y1 reward, or there could be a completely different bounty that would ask you to play in the Legacy (what is currently classic) playlist of PvP. [b]In short, as we know Destiny 1 is coming to a close, and I think it should go out with a bang, the old weapons should return in a way that makes them available to those who really want them, and we as a community would be able to enjoy gear that we may have deleted, or may never have gotten due to RNG in the first place. Also Im still salty I dismantled my Matador and Red Hand IX, and Payback SOS, and my HoW Efrideets Spear and my beloved PLUG ONE.1 (my first legendary weapon) when bungie said that all Y1 weapons would be "less powerful than greens" in TTK..... but thats just me. ]So let me know what you think, please, if you support this idea, if you hate it, if you like some of it but would change other parts, give me all the feedback you got, I would love to get this idea on Bungie's Radar.
