You are right it's not stupid they should do that

WoW has never had a sequel, only expansions. Warcraft the game did not carry over progression from sequel to sequel. I think they should carry over for Destiny 2, only because the game is supposed to be a revolutionary 10-year experience. That being said I'm an alt-aholic and I love re-experiencing the story from the ground up so I'd likely build new characters for D2 anyway.

See? I never played that game. Destiny is my first MMO style game. I've played ESO and love FF14, but those came after Destiny. I'm sure there's a way to make it work. Let us bring everything over, give us more classes, subclasses, skill trees, and new gear with new perks, and it would be just so perfect. Sure, that could happen, and I want that to happen just like you. But c'ome on... lol. What are the odds that they do it - and do it well? I don't trust it. Let's take D1 outback. .... put it out of it's mysery....forget it ever happened. ...and start over with a brand new puppy.
