Sunsetting gear and reissuing it right back does not sound like what some of us want.
I always knew that there were more people against sunsetting than for it. I am actually surprised on the 8% that voted for "always for sunsetting" even after seeing what a disaster its become. Activities rendered obsolete, loot pool is extremely shallow, all of the reissues, ect.
I get it if you are weak minded or have no self control and have to be told what weapons you can and cannot use like an addict that needs an intervention to quit using.
I like making my own choices. Play the way I want. When I get a new weapon and I like it, I use it over the old one but its my choice, nobody forces me. I also like having options.
Before the sunset I was regularly using 60 different weapons, now I use the same 8 weapons 90% of the time. I mean, I have less weapons now after all. Bungie sunsetted all the ones I was using
TL;DR If sunsetting gear is making locations and activities obsolete, maybe don't sunset that gear?
I was mostly okay with sunsetting, and am still mostly okay with it. Finding a weapon roll for my particular weapons isn't terribly difficult, and there is enough rando drop events for getting armor rolls that I like, so sunsetting really hasn't affected me much...
...ASIDE from a specific issue with it that hasn't been addressed much; if they would just make the kill tracker tally remain with the weapon title, rather than the specific instance/roll of the weapon, I'd be so much happier with sunsetting.
Case in point, I have a year 1 Forward Path that has 70k+ kills tracked on it, and when I get a new roll I don't mind using the new one, but I lose all my tracked kills with each new one. If they would just simply make the kill tracker be cumulative on all guns called "Forward Path" then my gripes will be settled.
