Glad to see I’m not the only person who is still bugged by this issue. This is one of my biggest concerns with Destiny right now, and the one that has turned away my friends from continuing to play this game. I get that MMOs do this sort of ‘refreshing’ thing every few months, but why couldn’t we have JUST ONE GAME where thats different? And us FPS players aren’t noobs to this concept, COD and Battlefield are constantly releasing new games that immediately reset your progress to 0% if you want to play them (yet it’s almost the exact same game). To me it seems that no one is going to “Become Legend” to anyone but themselves in this game, and gear is the only bit of our guardian’s history that merits any notice by anyone. And since we don’t have any choices in the story of the game, the only option we do have is what gear we use. That history was left behind with the gear when TTK came out. The only hope we have of feeling like true guardians with a history of victory (and not just another face in the player lobby like in COD) is brandishing our 'spoils of war' for all to see. My TDYK from Y1 speaks of my history far better than some ‘exclusive’ shader or emblem that no one cares about. TL:DR The only person we will “Become Legend” to is ourselves. The gear we use isn’t just one of the few choices we get to make in this game, but the only bit of history worth any merit. And that history is being nullified with every expansion that leaves gear behind.
