I agree with some of this, but I would like to point out, for example, that even if I were able to carry over Thorn, Fatebringer (my favorite yr. 1 gun), Gjallarhorn, etc., I'd still be using the loadout that I'm currently using (Zhalo until my super chargers, then Tlaloc, and legendary sword as the heavy). There should definitely be SOME sort of system put in place so that playing year 1 raids gets you year 2 gear (and not a system like No Time To Explain), but I think Bungie has done a solid job of giving us year 2 weapons that are attractive even when listed side by side with year 1 weapons (although I honestly still am not sure how to feel about Sleeper Simulant). In short, I think that there are definitely some flaws in Bungie's year 2 approach, but there have been some definite positives as well.
