No. Out of necessity. I'm I Day1 D1 player...and have been playing loot games for 25 years. I said this day would come to this game as far back as the THIRD MONTH of the franchise, when this community raged about having to "grind for the same gear" over again because there was no infusion yet. I said then that Bungie would have to take our gear from us, because that is the only way that loot games survive. You can't get people to chase carrots if they're dragging a truckload of carrots behidn them where ever they go. That is what's helping to fuel the sense of the game "not being rewarding" that so many of you are feeling right now. Yet you still CLUTCH at the very thing that's making the game no longer fun to play. This game is DYING right now. Its dying because it has no means to retire power from the game other than to NERF everything down to a bland sameness. So the result is that we've all been grinding for what are basically the same wapons over and over again...and the community is getting tired of it. And you know as well as I do, that if Bungie hadn't nerfed last years pinnacle weapons into the ground....everyone would still be using them...and this years loot would be irrelevant. But even then.....There is no difference between Trust and the Officer's Service Revolver other than a different skin...and the OSR can make Warmind Cells. If you want a game that you can play for years to come...this has to happen. Because thsi game will die in the next 18-24 months if Bungie doesn't do this. If you still don't care...then you need to ask yourself if loot games are really for you. Because this is a rule of loot-game design. One that it took Bungie 4 years to figure out that there was no getting around. Four years because they tried EVERYTHING possible to get around it. ....and they all failed. ...and they learned (the hard way) why everyone else does it this way. What gear retirement allows is for Bungie to make much more powerful weapons, becuase they know that they're only going to be at the top of the pyramid for a set amount of time....and then give way to new gear that comes later. So all gear is relevant. Its just relevant for a fixed time. As opposed to what we have now...is that anything added to the game hangs around FOREVER...and stays at the top of the pyramid (making everythign esle irrelevant) until Bungie nerfs it to the point where no one uses it any more. Which why I just smy at all the crying over retiring weapons. Its already been a part of the game now for 2 years. ONly its not by disallowing us to infuse beyond a certain point, its been by NERFING things to the point they aren't worth using anymore.
