No offense, but your own perspective isn't something that those of us aren't already aware about. Having "perspective" is not something we lack. It is the logical conclusion that we have reached which is what we are talking about. Logical Conclusion 1: Year 1 was a waste of time if Gear Ascension is not continued. 2: Year 1 Weapons and Armor will be rendered obsolete because of this if you cannot further ascend them. 3: No one will still keep using old weapons or armor if there are new ones that offer more damage and more armor rating, so what DeeJ said about old gear having a place with old content is just insulting to us. 4: We spent $100 and have nothing to actually show for it if this actually is allowed to happen. 5: If this is allowed to happen, it means Bungie can just as easily keep on doing it and continuing to invalidate the time and effort players spend investing in the game, meaning there is no longer any reason to justify anyone actually playing the game or sticking with the franchise at this point.
