Of course the complete failure of your post is to realize that we did VoG and Crota just so we could land a weapon like Fatebringer,VoC or Fang. Where is the carrot to grind strike after strike and run raid after raid? There is none today, which is why this game is in trouble. As to your point about now having a choice, yes you do. Bad or worse. If you want people to drop their old weapons you achieve that by giving them something better, not a sea of mediocrity.
