If one person can serve as an example? Look at my Warlock in my profile. Helmet; Eclipse Maw Primary: Red Hand IX (Original) Special: The Comedian Heavy: The Swarm Why do I use these? 1: The helmet stands out because it was a Pre-Dark Below Legendary Helmet from the Vanguard. Wearing it around the Reef, Tower, Raids or Strikes, people have stopped and asked me where I got it. And when I tell them, they are green with envy. I look unique, I look different in a way that others cannot be, because they no longer have access to my sexy-ness. THAT is a badge of pride which displays how long I have been playing this game, and anyone who sees it immediately knows. 2: My Red Hand is a beast, and a beauty to boot. Its nice and has that heavy feeling to it. It also matches my shader, the God of War which is my preferred color scheme. I am quite sentimental over this gun as it was something I spent many an hour grinding reputation for as back in the day the ONLY way to acquire it was through a random chance upon ranking up New Monarchy. The new version they sell in the faction vendor does not compare to mine, which has now become unique all its own. 3: The Shotgun is no joke, despite the name. It serves as my Non-Exotic VOID Damage Shotty and you can feel free to check its stats. The Impact, Mag Size and Rate of Fire is pure awesome. 4: My Machine Gun lacks the same stability as the BTR, however The Swarm manages to stay in my arsenal because it is a SOLAR Damage MG with high Impact and good perks. There are many players like me who think this way. I don't feverishly get and keep every single weapon I find, but I do have a sense of what I want. Ideal-wise, I want a Hand Cannon, Auto Rifle, Scout Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher and Machine Gun of EVERY different elemental type (Solar, Arc and Void). If Bungie wants me to use the new gear? The answer isn't to render all my old shit useless by comparison. That kind of crap is just going to make say "screw this shit" and be done with it, like so many others already have. No, instead they need to present new weapons for those various types that offer me things that I don't have. Here is my arsenal... [b]NEEDED FOR ARMORY (Legendary Weapons) [Hand Cannons] Void: Word of Crota Arc: Fatebringer Solar: N/A [Auto Rifles] Void: Atheon's Epilogue Arc: N/A Solar: N/A [Scout Rifles] Void: N/A Arc: N/A Solar: Vision of Confluence [Shotguns] Void: The Comedian Arc: Dry Rot 32 Solar: Her Courtesy [Sniper Rifles] Void: Praedyth's Revenge Arc: Epitaph 2261 Solar: N/A [Rocket Launcher] Void: Steel Oracle Z-11 Arc: Unfriendly Giant Solar: Unfriendly Giant [Machine Gun] Void: Corrective Measure Arc: BTRD-345 Solar: The Swarm[/b] Anything else I get is just either for fun, personal reasons or for reliability. But the above is a list of my armory which takes priority and MUST be fully stocked at all times. There are a number of weapons in the armory that I would replace. For example, I really...REALLY want a high impact Void Machine Gun to replace Corrective Measure, which is not really my kind of play style. I don't really like the feel of it. Also, anything that was listed as N/A means I don't have them, so those are open slots ready to receive. I don't understand the argument at all that new weapons means getting rid of the old. New content can very easily integrate in with the old and vice versa.
