the developer gives you a whole bunch of new content and improves on a game we all know and love. You come on the forums and do nothing but bitch about gear. Most people bitching haven't even read the whole articles and are just jumping to conclusions. All of your exotics will remain relevent, you can get to max level with your current gear. You will find new weapons and gear that will be more powerful then what you currently have. I have a question. You weren't upset when you replaced your level 9 hand Cannon with a level 15 hand Cannon right? So why are you mad about replacing a level 36 hand Cannon with something more powerful.
