But we don't have to upgrade anything if we don't want to.

I was just about to say the same thing. They're not forcing you to upgrade anything, they're not even making current exotics worse, they're just introducing exotics that can be better and giving you a way to make your old exotics just as good. Is that way arduous? Yeah, and it'll sting if you already upgraded them all the way, but it's there, and again, we don't know how relevant a fuller, expanded upgrade will even be.

We'll get new, better guns and armor. This upgrade path just gives us the option to bring some of our favorite gear up the ladder as we progress.
If all our existing gear is made as good as the new stuff, then why bother with a level increase at all?

Funnily enough I was thinking this too. This is the hard truth, or the hard probable truth, behind the nice truth above. "They expect me to just start over?" No, they probably don't expect you to restart and fully upgrade your exotics, they probably expect you to just get new exotics. While we're being honest, most of us were going to anyway, if we kept playing, right? Every time Xur shows up he gets mobbed. I know some people go through exotic bounties like they're toilet paper but a lot of people cherish them and put a lot of effort into completing them because they come in so infrequently and they represent such a unique chance for something better. These things are still happening after 12 weeks.
