New/Featured gear sounds like watered-down sunsetting that will force players to refarm gear with each new content drop
While a 5-10% weapons damage boost or a 5-15 armor DR boost doesn't sound like much, I can definitely see a scenario where players kick player from fireteams because they're not running the latest and greatest gear.
It also has me concerned for exotics who will apparently be power crept unless bungie regularly updates them.
Not to mention, who will honestly want to regrind their T5 gear every 6 months? That's a lot of RNG to wade through, plus they might not even offer an archetype you like that season.

I think it is not that wild. LFG for sure, but the buff is not responsible for ppl acting like a d*ck. It’s the ppl. Additionally the buff will come gradually. You don’t go second week all T5. To me it’s like an Artefakt buff I am using, or not. Trace rifles are buffed this season, never touched one, personal dislike. Players tend to see a peek max somewhere and instantly set this new peek as normal or must have when comparing their stuff. The sad thing would be if Bungie does the buff to push the usage of the new gear because it’s that lame, no one would choose it over their old stuff otherwise. Armor could be a slight annoyance, but I think they will define new as „tiered“ armor. They were quite lazy with armor.
