People only move on to new weapons when their forced to in this game because the weapons from the previous DLC typically outperform the newer weapons. If Six Dreg Pride had better perks than Fatebringer, would anyone still be bothering with Fatebringer?

Hense why bungie is nerfing all year one legendary perks like perfect balance, field scout. Those types of perks that make the vog gun supreme. It's all a ploy to sell TTK

Yes actually. People used it in the dark below despite the numerical weakness it held. People will keep on using the same stuff till they are forced to. Would you have preferred that the vanilla guns sucked and the good weapons behind dlc? Then you would have people complain about that.

Well I used VOG weapons in Crota [b]UNTIL[/b] I got the Crota weapons. We will do the same thing with TTK. Maybe some people are die hard VOG weapon fans and use them non stop, who cares. I like them all and use hive weapons on hive, VOG weapons for oracles... You see what in saying. Why isn't that a good thing to have great weapons for different battles? I thought the TTK weapons would have taken damage perks. And i would have grinded to get them. I'm not gonna grind( which is like 80% of the game) for a weapon that's only good for 2 months.

Is it really so surprising that people keep using good guns over worse guns? If Bungie really wanted us to move on, the best way to do it would be to give us guns that perform as good as the old ones, but differently. Instead, Bungie is going for the "stick" approach with no carrot: driving us away from guns which continue to outperform weapons that are theoretically in their tier (i.e. Raid-tier) and simultaneously driving people away from a game that seems determined to force them to switch out their gear every 4 months. I like switching things up and trying new guns, but only as a way of switching up my playstyle, not out of the shear necessity of keeping my damage relevant.

Yep. Bungie -blam!-ed up. They know it. I've got a pretty good feeling the loot in the taken king will be pretty good. I'm looking forward to it.

Your confidence is inspiring, but after all the mistakes they've made, I'll need a little more than faith to convince me to stay with this game.

Fair enough. I think there's a lot of people thinking the same thing. This is honestly bungie's last chance. It'll keep a dedicated fan base (probably people like me), but it's gonna lose a lot of players. Which is really bad for a game that's supposed to go on for 10 years. Be skeptical. Keep bungie on their toes. Debate in the forums is a good thing. Just don't be a jerk like a lot of people on the forums are... I feel like I'm trying to sound higher than I am by saying that. All well. I'm gonna go level lord of wolves.

If the old guns were outclassed by the new in the NEW CONTENT nobody would have an issue. It's that with the nerfs coming to year one legendaries people such as me thing year 2 weapons won't be better. But will just fill that spot.
