You're giving very minute examples. An armor with heavy ammo perks on it are common, the raid boots are raid boots, you know you need them, you need them to hit max level. They are not telling you that you can't use your old weapons. You can, in fact, because the irony of it is that you idiots keep telling us they arent adding in new content but keep replacing the old stuff, but this entire expansion is a direct rebuttle to that statement. They are giving you brand new content that requires new armor and guns to use. This does not mean that your current guns and armor are useless. Fatebringer still does bonus damage to oracles in the vault of glass, it still blows shit up on critical kills; it's certainly not useless. There are multiple uses for your old weapons due to the fact that old content is not being replaced, it is being added upon. If you were to keep using the same old weapons every expansion then that is replacing content. Bungie has never been replacing content, ever, it just so happens that older content gear is better than current content gear. But if they were to replace old content, they'd literally delete vault of glass, delete crotas end, and replace them with the Taken King raid and say fuk it. Your entire opinion is countered and negated by common sense and knowledge.
