I don't understand how you were under the impression that your year 1 gear would continue to be relevant all the way through year 10. You really thought that this was it? You really thought that Fatebringer and VoC were the only guns you'd ever need and would never be replaced? The biggest mistake that Bungie made was bringing Etheric Light into the game. Granted it was a step in the right direction with regard to customization, but ultimately it was a bad move. They should have left the old guns in the past. Had they done so, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation right now. On a personal note, I think the changes coming with TTK will breathe some life back into this game. From what I've been hearing, the coming changes will provide some sustainability to the game that was unavailable with the old/current systems.
