Title.
Menagerie was an absolute blast to play, and felt rewarding. We could customize the loot we got, it just an absolute blast. [spoiler](I called it an absolute blast twice: that's just how fun it was.)[/spoiler]
Forge Ignitions were similarly fun to play, and the BA weapons were *so incredibly powerful*. You know why? Because they had the chance to roll with perk combinations no other weapon had.
You seriously messed up by taking these things away. SO,
return the Menagerie AND the Black Armory, and also bring our current Menagerie and BA weapons up to the current level cap. And maybe do away with sunsetting while you're at it. That'll help make the player base happy.
Update: to further prove my point, today I pulled my Blast Furnace and Kindled Orchid out of the vault for a meme. Using them, for the first time ever, I managed to solo a Heroic Ether Corruption event.

As they were? No thank you. Creating a new activity that uses the same reward structures and theme would be much better. I enjoyed them both at the time. Menagerie was great for focus farming a few specific weapons. Black Armory had some of the most unique (and imo best looking) rewards across the board that could be farmed reliably, but was a bit tedious. The best of both worlds for me would be to create a new activity using the menagerie play loop and reward structure but with a black armory theme and unique, useful perk combinations on rewards.
