[quote]Sure, it helps with power creep, and makes all weapons viable (to an extent) but there really will always be a "god tier" weapon out there.[/quote]And for some of us, that's fine. Not everyone in the current game uses the meta, despite ascension being a possibility. I have no qualms with gear phasing out completely in a MMORPG fantasy type game, since your talent tree (or your "skills") is the main attack use, and your gear in general is just a complement to your character, but it isn't the optimal for a shooter. You should be able to carry at least the weapons over a period of time in the given genre. Thankfully, this may not be of a concern, as Cozmo said to not dismantle weapons just yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3frkbk/game_informer_ttk_info_dump_megathread/ctr9rl1
