Ummm... is that not the point of progression in these types of games...? Like seriously. No matter how much you liked the rare handcannon you had, you gave it up because there's better, right? Look at other mmos's, or pseudo-mmo's even. New expansion=higher level cap + better equipment=more difficult enemies. If you genuinely expected it to last this long, I feel bad for you. I, on the other hand, am looking forward to trying out new weapons rather than just use a fatebringer the whole game.
