[You guys came up with so many great ideas. I really wish Bungie had a look at the comments here.]
[b]Come on, Bungie, give us the freedom to choose whatever suits our style best and don't let those awesome weapons you've designed become obsolete. Actually, don't let the stunning Vault of Glass (best content in the game) be consumed by the darkness.
I believe that Raids and its weapons should always be the at level cap. More weapons to choose from, more content to play.
Weapons are mostly situational and mixing them is part of a successful strategy (it's fun too). Having more to choose from just add to the game.
Edit: I'm not suggesting to automatically turn them into 331 attack weapons. Just give us a way to upgrade them to the current attack cap. I bet you guys can implement it in a sensible way.
Why would we go against the idea of having more relevant weapons at our disposal? It's like saying "I'd rather have less weapons, less content". Let's not be passively attached to an old format. Destiny is something new with immense potential.[/b]
=====================
Some great comments Bungie should pay some attention to:

"But what they decide to do with VOG weapons speaks to the future of the current raid weapons as well. Right now, there is an expiration date on my Fatebringer and that sucks, supremely, but now that same feeling isn't too far for my Black Hammer either. I'd like to carry these weapons with me as long as I am playing Destiny. Yeah, future weapons maybe better and I end up scraping these guns one day but I'd like to be able to decide for myself versus having no choice in the matter. Just my take on the situation".

"The problem lies within the way they have designed the upgrading system. They are going to have to re work how you upgrade weapons and armor. Yeah they could just update the VOC gear up to 32 and 331 but what happens when the House of Wolves comes out? Then they are going to have to update both Dark Below and VOC all over again the prevent them from being obsolete. They need to just make it were the players can choose the path they want to take. You choose what armor and weapons you want to upgrade to the highest rank. I mean make it a difficult task. I wouldn't mind the challenge and it would inspire players to be more creative with their characters rather than every single person wearing the same gear".

"Upgrading older legendary weapons could finally give a use for the Gunsmith beyond buying ammo and weapons at a low level. Not to mention it would help provide a larger variety of "good" weapons so that we would have more things to work towards. After all the various DLC's are done, just imagine how varied the weapon and armor selection would be. (Speaking of which, vendors should be able to upgrade armor as well.)"

Stupid Idea. Just get over yourself's and find a new gun to love.
-
Even at 300 attack they are still some of the best guns in the game, this would only really matter in iron banner.

Stupid idea

I don't want to have to leave my Fatebringer behind

I feel that along the course of this game, exotics have given way to the supremacy of the raid legendaries. In an early vidoc, Bungie stated (loosely) "When you see another player with an exotic weapon, you know how that player received it, and what they had to go through". This (besides bounties) didn't happen with exotics. I see a random player sporting the Ghallarhorn, for example, and I have no idea how they got it. Strike drop? Nightfall? Xûr? I don't know. However, when I see a player with the Fatebringer, I know that player managed to beat the Templar on hard mode of the Vault of Glass. They have a story, an accomplishment. This is personally why I would love to hold on to my raid weapons, I went through a lot to get them. They're more precious to me than my exotics, most of which I've had to acquire from Xûr. Just my perspective on the issue. :)

At least make the damn exotic drops 331. I've got to wait until Xur sells upgrades now for stuff I earned in the VoG post DLC, that's stupid.
-
I agree vex , VOC , fatebringer. Rest can be left to rot
-
Bump!!! How about an insane version of VOG too!! I'm talking carazzzyaaa

YES ples mythoclast

Signed
-
This has probly been said but im assuming that they will have upgraded versions of everything when they add another mode of VoG, 33+ maybe?
-
BUMP!!!
-
Disagreed.
-
Beware, to many bumps gets your petition hidden.. Trust me on this one
-
No. You clearly have never played an MMO. When an "Expansion" comes out old gear is useless. Stop crying just because you can't kill Croat and get a raid gun.

I support damage equality. #Dmgequality

Yessir bump it like I do tupac!!
-
Completely agree. These weapons were earned (RNG sure but they don't show up when you pop a level 3 dreg) and now they're being glossed over.
-
the exotic weapon sure but the legendary weapons no,
