Edited by Stalkholm: 8/8/2025 8:09:43 PMI chose "The seasonal bonus is sunsetting 2.0." I'm mostly okay with the new Tiered system and how it's been implemented, but I don't like the restrictiveness of the gear bonuses, I don't like being discouraged from using weapons I worked for. 9/10ths of my vault is disadvantaged compared to the new stuff, which would be fine if I was getting 1:1 replacements for what's needed for my build, but we're limited by the comparatively small number of new weapons we're getting. I like playing the game the way I like playing the game, being cajoled into building around new gear is frustrating. I want to use the new gear because it's better for my build, not because I need the 2%-10% extra damage offered by the new weapons. My vault is full of good weapons that I'm reluctant to use because they don't get the Featured Gear bonuses like extra Damage, extra Damage Resistance, and higher event scores. If the new gear is good, it can stand on its own, it shouldn't need to be propped up with artificial bonuses. Edit, suggested fixes: I think Bungie should depreciate the Featured Gear idea. Tiered weapons are better because they're Tiered; Tiered armor is better because it offers better stats; let the new gear stand on its own, let weapons be better (or not) based on their perks, don't strong arm us into using the new stuff with artificial bonuses, and, reciprocally, don't put second-hand nerfs on our old gear.
