Your ignorance disturbs me friend. There's a difference between appearance and actuality. You do not know with absolute certainty Bungie's stance on Year 1 gear ascension. Cozmo even mentioned in a post earlier today that players should not dismantle their legendary gear/weapons just yet, as they have some exciting information coming soon (relating to Year 1 gear). Also Bungie, said prior to launch, that they want players, 10 years down the road, to be able to tell stories about how they attained their prize possessions years ago. Furthermore, whether players wish to continue to utilize their Year 1 weapons/gear or not, you are not being forced to do so, therefore it is a win/win situation for both parties. Lastly, some players want to grind when they believe it will be worth it [look at all the World of Warcraft players]. Also, why use such ignorant and vulgar vocabulary? Use it elsewhere.
