Recycled Gear (Criticism)

The Tangled Shore set is literally just the old Prison of Elders set. The new Vanguard set is mostly just the Mercury set.

I don’t disagree Raga, that this is probably the most gear added in a single expansion. That’s great! But keeping old sets relevant by adding random rolls would be even better! It feels like a no-brainer, especially for a game that always has the complaint of not enough gear. They could have easily doubled the amount of relevant armor by adding random rolls to old sets.

I’m not complaining so much as just trying to understand. What happened to expansions being completely additive, rather than leaving large parts of the base game behind? We’re certainly in a better place than what happened to Y1 gear in Destiny 1, but still.
