My point was if it was a choice, how many would simply not make a decision? How many would stick to what burnt them through year 1?. As you say, they made year 1 guns too powerful....when laid up against each other there would be no contest. They had to cap the damage level. That was the only way they could blanket fix the year 1 gun issues, clean slate. The trouble is people loved what was powerful and resent leaving them behind. I am sure they could add in a year 2 etheric light at some point, once everything is more even, not for now though. They haven't taken anything 'away' though, those guns we all loved just aren't powerful enough to kill new endgame enemies in their current state, the rest of the game is still there...nothing has been removed, it all still exists. Its simply the case of nobody wants to play it anymore because people only seem to play destiny for the rewards at the end of an activity, not because of the activity itself. If you or I want to go play VoG, Crotas end or whatever, we can, with our old gear even if we fancy a challenge. Many don't, simply because they won't get rewarded for it. I play xbox games when I want some downtime, do I feel I need to be rewarded for anything in that time, because its my time I am putting into it? No, absolutely not, gaming is the last priority in my life, its a game... anyway, back on topic.. It would amazing to run an updated VoG, thats the one thing I think is missing, the old raids being up at 290 light or whatever. Would it be cool to get an updated VoC or FB? Yes, it would (seeing as both have avoided me) but my post was about the fact that people believe the old raid guns and gear should have carried over straight away, be instantly infusible to the new levels. I don't think that would help the game at all, personally! I would happily go hunting again if it was implemented that way, no issues at all chasing a new Praedyths Revenge or Vex Mythoclast but going by some of the stuff posted on here its not worth Bungie's time. The salt about being 'forced' to rerun old content for 'old' gear would be horrific. Its bad enough already.
