Did you ever think that this works like every other game where higher level weapons do more damage? You seriously wanna play with the same weapons forever? I want all the new weapons to make the old ones look like trash. I'm not bummed that my old weapons are gonna be useless, isn't this a game that drives you toward better gear? That's why HoW tanked. All the new guns sucked compaired to the older ones. The best guns were random loot drops from crucible and Dragon strikes.
