Did we miss the big picture? (Destiny)

This is an effort to pad content, pure and simple. This is forcing a player to re-grind, to pad play time. If their purpose was to have exotics remain playable, they would have just extended the mythoclast's changes to all exotics. That's not what they did do.

I just don't see it that way. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. Nothing is being taken away from you. When you hit level 20, were you given the ability to upgrade all your Blue gear? No. You had to find new, better gear. That is exactly what is happening here.
If you have weapons maxed out to 300, you are ready for level 30 content, which is where this expansion starts. Over the course of the expansion, you will find new, better gear to carry you towards 32.

I just don't understand the mentality that everything we already have should suddenly be made better. What's the point of an expansion if everything we already have just gets boosted up to max level?

Now that I say that, perhaps people would be happier if the expansion didn't include a jump to 32? Would everyone be happier if we just got new gear and missions, all within the level 30 cap?
