My main concern with making old loot obsolete is us having new loot to replace it. Even with two expansions under my belt, I still trend toward using exotics from the original game rather than Dark Below or House of Wolves. Some good exceptions, like Lord of Wolves on occasion or Ruin Wings if I'm soloing for awhile.

On the other hand, I'd really like a good excuse to diversify. Kinda sick of my helmet of saint 14.

Bungie has already chosen their method of content delivery. More frequent and in smaller quantity. This is inferior to less frequent and of more quantity, but the choice is made.

They have a problem, because old weapons are very good, and they messed up with perks and stuff on the old weapons. Fixing the perk situation in HoW only made the weapons that much more inferior to the old ones.

There are two choices: let us keep upgrading our gear, or start over. Keeping old gear makes new content too easy. Starting over doesn't feel good and is a loot treadmill.

i feel like at some point we will just need to start over, after they figure out a way to introduce new weapons that will be desirable alongside the old ones. A very challenging endeavor when you have frequent content packs, but perhaps a problem they can solve. It could have been avoided in the first place if there were 4 Destiny games, with no taking gear between them.
