No matter what bungie does the forums will explode with hate, the best example is hatred towards the belief that Gjallarhorn was removed from xurs drop table, and then the hatred that he actually sold it. Many people wish to hang on to old gear but I think you'll find just as many excited about the idea of starting over. Bungie has made a hugely popular game that has only improved so personally I think they know what they're doing and that it won't ruin their game
