Correct. I wasn't referring to the in game economy, I was referring to Bungie's attitude of become "legend" how we want you to and use the gear we want you to use. I don't think it would've hurt anything leaving old gear in the game, the burden should be on Bungie to make better gear and make the player want to use all the new gear available.

I'd still say it's capitalist based. They give out a few select quality items (I.e. the people who got the exotics that aren't dropping or 320 gear) to the select few random players (usually the more casual bunch because they know the die hard #desticles will play no matter what) and this spurs the 12 year olds to keep logging in and playing every day. If it really was just about using the gear they'd want you to use then everyone would have those specific weapons and the other options wouldn't exist.

They don't want you to use old weapons, so they don't carry them into year two. They find people still prefer to use them so they retroactively nerf perks on those weapons. They gave players a new set of gear to choose from but made three quarters of in game gear obsolete. If the new gear is as good as the old gear, why not leave them in game and let the the player choose what they want to use. That's what I'm saying. If you prefer to use super pox, why not be able to use it? Why do I have to use the villainy?

... because capitalism is all about the elite forcing the masses to grind their ass off trying to get what the 1% tells them that they want. You can use the villainy but capitalism has made it so that Super Pox is better due to planned obsolescence. It's no different than a new iPhone coming out every 8.5 months. Capitalism through and through.
