Bungie is discounting the personal relationship people develop with tools. This is a timeless dynamic they ignore at their peril. Nothing wrong with adding new, but what if they DONT hit the mark with new gear? Look at the pitifully reduced perks of HoW gear?!? Example: I'm not impressed with my Aegis of Kells pulse rifle with its 'chance' to do extra damage to Dregs, compared to my Time-On-Target or Praedith' Timepiece. Grinding yet-again to replace everything is too much like a make-work mechanic. This thinking is what drove my son to stop playing. *sniff* I miss running with him.
