No. They could easily make a material like esthetic light and let people bring their Y1 weapons forward. I think they choose not to because I think they care more about players grinding continuously than do about the player experience. Take the Gjallarhorn for example. Are they bringing it back? Yes. But everyone knows deep down it won't be what it was. They're bringing it back as a selling point nothing more. Was it game breaking? No. It made the grind bearable. Did it get people kicked from Raids? Yes. But if BungieVision cared about the player experience they could have overwritten Xur's random sell and sold it anytime. They proved they could do this when they had him stay longer because of PSN being down holiday 2014.
