My concern (Destiny)

So you've just done the hardest content in the game. But then, what do you need the best guns for?

As far as this specific concern goes, I don't think it's less a matter of "giving you the tools you need", just "more tools" (or "toys" depending on how you look at it).

We didn't NEED Gjallarhorn or Black Hammer to beat VoG, but having them sure allows us to pull things off that we never could have before. In a way, the weapons themselves add a substantial amount of replay value to the game. Nevermind the grind we go through to get them, but actually using them adds a lot of variety.

My hope is that the Prison of Elders will be a game mode that inherently offers a decent amount of replayability. Now that we can upgrade whatever gear we choose, we have the freedom to create whatever custom character loadouts we want to play with. We're being given the freedom to create our own replayability, in a way.
