Recycled Gear (Criticism)

I hear you on wishing there was even more... I miss the D1 days where every expansion meant the vendors got new gear and I got to read new sets of weapon descriptions... but I think an actual counting would probably yield a lot more weapon and armor than we at first realize got put in. Given that for a long time D1's new guns were mostly reskins of old guns with the perks remixed... I would even hazard a guess that Forsaken brought more actually new items than any other expansion since Destiny 1's launch.

At least some of it is recycled from D1, though.

For instance, the Prodigal Cloak (D2, Forsaken) is the same as the Red Eclipse Cloak (D1).
