I don't know if I would say year 1 gear is overpowered as much as year 2 gear is underpowered.
The stats (besides attack) and perks were way better than year 1 gear.
The point of this game is to grind incessantly in order to get gear that works well for you. If you could just infuse you're already ideal gear, then you wouldn't have to constantly grind to get your perfect gear.
This whole game is focused around grinding for better equipment. That's why they don't want you to be able to use your perfect equipment you already have. Its a way to artificially lengthen the game. If they were to allow us to infuse old gear, then they would have to add more content in to the game in order to keep people playing, and that cost money and takes away from profits. Basically infusing old gear would be counter to their business model of releasing as little content as possible.

i see where you are coming from, but id like to just add this; If all gear was infusable, we'd still have to grind through the raid and exotics to get gear up to the max. Its not like year 1 gear would obliterate year 2 gear - a great deal of its pretty good, what with there being new perks like you said.Id say more than anything, its the armor people want back.The sets looked nice, and they surely wouldnt break the game. I still have my raid sets in my vault, on the slim chance i can equip it one day for Future raids. Since the next DLC is likely Vex based, id love to go in donned in gear crafted from their kind from VoG, or go take out Oryx wearing the CE set.

I'm not saying I agree with it. I think being able to infuse all gear would be great. It would make me want to go back and play the old raids and the Prison on Elders. Plus you have more options when it came to armor, so you can make your guardian look more unique and exactly how you want. That's one of the things that kept me playing after I did all the missions in the second expansion. I bet once everyone has fear they're happy with and is tired of TKK, they'll add it in so that people will go back and play the old activities again. Its all about giving the players incentives to grind for gear.

im not saying you agree with it either, i just thought id throw out my 2 cents on infusion. I hope they dont just use it as a way to bait us back in when we get bored of what they've got, id love to go back and play year 1's endgame content too (now rather than later).... but not but yesterday my 360 decided to refuse to read disks anymore T.T and i mean ALL disks, not just destiny. Good ones, bad ones, movies, nothing.

That sucks. I'd recommend upgrading to the Xbox One anyways. The graphics are way better in Destiny and everything loads way way faster, especially the gear menu. Plus if there's a connection issue, it either reconnects you or puts you back in to orbit instead of kicking you to the title screen and making you restart your console.
-
i plan on upgrading, but not for Destiny. Fallout 4 man... anyway, ive bee against upgrading considering the restrictions of the Xbox One, always has to be online, HAVE to do install for all games, didn't have backwards compatibility( they are working on it, yes, but i doubt all my games are backwards compatible atm). Not to mention the atrocious amount of time it will take to download Destiny and its numerous updates and DLCs. They do the same thing for connection issues on 360, had a zoo of baboons before my xbox basically croaked, graphics are eh, never really cared about that. Load times though, no doubt about that being better.

It doesn't always have to be online, they took that requirement away before the console almost came out. Games do have to be installed, but only partially if you didn't purchase it digitally. The downloads do take a while, but you can set it to download while its off and it can still download while you're playing other games, even if the games are online. I bought it for Halo Master Chief Collection, specifically the Halo 2 Anniversary. I've been really happy with it. Plus there's good F2P content like Warframe and Neverwinter, and now the Project Spark is completely free, its even better. There's a lot of other cool features too. They're coming out with a DVR for tv shows as well, so you can save money by not needing to pay for TiVo or TWC's DVR. I would save up and wait for black Friday deals.

Yeah you hit it on the head. That's the only reason. The old guns were too ideal and they sorta ran outa ideas for guns that we'd wanna grind for so they said -blam!- it and made it so you have to start over and actually grind to get weapons that aren't even as good as the old ones anyway.
-
Yeah, this whole time playing and I barely got decent hand canon yesterday, but it still doesn't compare to my Lord Highfixer. The new exotics I've come across are pretty lame too. There's nothing wrong with them, but they mite as well be legendary because there's nothing to make them unique and special like the year 1 exotics.
-
Yeah the exotics besides like jade rabbit and supercell might as well be legendaries. They have useless perks. Most perks in year 2 are useless
-
Then let them make guns that are appealing, be it for the skin, for a new perk (not necessary more powerful, just different stats/combo). Right now it's not progression, it's a bland reset. They could keep the game without level at that point, and just point out what we can or cannot buy now. Grinding is not the problem here, people will grind for new skins or stats regardless of the overall power of it.
-
[quote]Right now it's not progression, it's a bland reset.[/quote] 100% this. Seriously, even a lot of the "new" gear options are straight-up remakes of old models, with slight differences. It's wholey artificial, and is in [i]no way[/i] actually acting to balance the game, at all. :/
-
That would be an ideal solution. It seems like they ran out of ideas for weapons. Most of the year 2 exotics are just ordinary guns. They don't have interesting perks that made them super unique like the year one exotics did. If they made new weapons that were actually interesting, people would be glad to grind for them.
