People seriously. This is the issue? You won't be able to run Fatebringer, Black Hammer, and Gjallarhorn for the next several years of Destiny?
I think this is a good thing. It lets people experiment with the new weapons they worked so hard to create! Think of all the possibilities!
Just because it's PvE doesn't mean balance shouldn't be a thing. Maybe the new exotic version of the Stranger's Rifle will be fun and unique. Maybe you will enjoy running the sword being added as a weapon!
All I'm saying is, before you rage, give it a chance!
Edit: This little post of mine has spawned quite a bit of rage! I would hope the arguments are less "shut up fgt" and more of a civilized conversation.

I generally agree. But I'm more moderate on this issue. I definitely feel that weapons were at their peak in 1.0, TDB weapons were ok and HOW weapons were terrible. From that angle, I'm glad we had ascension during HOW. However, I feel that ascension in general was a huge mistake. Regardless of people's feelings, Destiny is being pushed with the tiered content of an MMO. Being able to keep the same weapons through multiple tiers gives us little incentive to get new gear. Now I have two caveats for that. 1. Like I said, HoW weapons were garbage and ascension was the only thing that kept me playing. 2. In most MMOs, a sword is a sword is a sword. In Destiny, each weapon has a certain feel. From the recoil, the sight, the rate of fire and perks. So there never will be another weapon that's got the same feel to it. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the new gear, quests and raid. I'll reluctantly put down my exotics that don't carry forward and pick up new toys to wreak havoc with.
