I am a yr1 player and have not played in months simply because it's all old boring content. I'm undecided on whether or not I'll buy in to the next installment and if I do I'd like to leave yr1 in the dust and start fresh. I mean come on yr1 gear is so focked up it's time to just let it all go. Can you name a franchise that let you carry entire character sets over to next installment...? Look at Batman,God Of War, Ratchet and Clank, CoD, Zelda, Halo, Metroid series...and so on. Characters carry over to DLC's but not in to the next installment. New game new character.
