Look, guys, argue all you want. This comes down to a matter of some of us wanting to keep using things we've earned to earn new things, and people not caring about what they have earned, only what they will earn next. It doesn't impact either if we can keep using our old favorites to anally destroy 'new' mobs. It does, however, give the finger to the first group that we lose a years worth of sick loot, just to please the latter group. Let those of us who want to keep our Vanilla guns, keep said guns. For those who don;t care, they can take the new ones. There is not a single argument against the ascension of old guns that invalidates the new guns. No reason whatsoever to tell the veterans "F*** you and your -Vanilla Gun/Armor-, get a real gun/armor set!". Just let us keep our favorite toys, while you go enjoy your new ones.
