Providing the gear is good I don't see the problem. However you can't really blame people for being skeptical based on how monumentally bad the weapons were in the DLCs. People only used things like Fatebringer because it proved viable and the guns in TDB really didn't offer anything significant as a step up from VoG. Being able to ascend older favorite gear in HoW made is easy for people to overlook the fact that HoW weapons were utter garbage in all but a few cases. We all secretly knew that Year1 stuff would eventually bite the dust but it was nice to be able to hold on to the good stuff and enjoy it in HoW until its eventual demise in Year2. Those 'tough decisions' DeeJ mentioned are kind of easy due to the quantity of **** weapons within HoW. I made the decision early on that I would wait until all the facts were out first before making any decision. Heck, I may even delay it until sometime after release, but we'll see what else comes out...
