[quote] The only weapons 'removed' were vanguard, crucible and faction weapons. In all of these cases, they were replaced with new weapons.[/quote] ...That's 75%+ of the weapons for both Vanilla and TDB that have been [i]removed[/i], dude. You're literally proving my point for me, haha. HoW did add ToO and PoE gear, which [i]purely[/i] added content with out replacing anything, this is true; however, it still removed full sets of Weapons [i]and[/i] Armor from NM, DO, FWC, Vanguard, Crucible, and Iron Banner. Yes, there are technically more weapons in the game right now than there were at launch; but there should easily be [i]TWICE[/i] as much gear in the game if Bungie didn't remove older gear. Do you see what I'm saying? :P
