Think about it this dlc released and everything is more powerful making your current exotics shit well if you upgrade now when the next dlc comes out you'll need to upgrade again getting 3.0 weapons/armor. Therefore I say -blam!- you bungie I'm not upgrading weapons/armor (THAT I ALREADY EARNED/BOUGHT). I'm waiting till the next dlc to upgrade/buy new exotics hopefully by then it won't be so expensive either and the only thing I might upgrade is my helmet so I can get to 32 but that's it I'm not upgrading my weapons to only have to again anyways when your lvl32 I dont think 31 extra "damage" is going to be worth it or make much difference and then only to have the next dlc have exotics at 362 damage (guessing) so you guys shouldn't waste your coins/glimmer except one piece of exotic armor to get to lvl32 or not spend bc crotas end hard mode if you do it bc you'll get to 32 with the raid gear but when the next dlc launches 7coins and 7k glimmer to go from 300damage to 333 (guessing) damage would definitely be worth it
Edit: before any more ppl say it, I hate crucible and won't be playing iron banner

By this logic you may as well never update your gear because there will be more DLC after HoW and you would have to do it again anyways.
