[quote][quote]Given that nightfalls and PoE now only drop TTK-tier loot[/quote] That PoE should be Trials, sorry.[/quote] Okay, I thought I was going crazy. XD All the more reason why holding back gear is largely entirely arbitrary; all of my old ToO gear has the EXACT same stats as Tue new stuff, so there's no "balancing" issues as to why it's being left behind. :/ And, I know that YOU might not have any interest in running VoG again, but what about the [i]new[/i] players? There's obviously a large amount of players that jumped into Destiny with the TTK bundle, which was market as the "complete Destiny experience." But, if 75% of said "complete experience" is entirely pointless, it only serves to weaken the game as a whole. If this trend continues, the game will only ever be as desirable as the [i]most recent DLC[/i], because that's all that newcomers would look at. If, however, old gear was continually brought forward, all the old [i]content[/i] would be brought forward with it, and Destiny would become exponentially [i]more[/i] desirable with each consecutive DLC, which seems like MUCH smarter game design. It's more than just respecting players' efforts, it's also about respecting the legacy of the [i]game[/i]. My two cents. :P
