You people keep quoting grind. You don't know grind. On to my point. When I played everquest, a game which required months to years of constant play early on, I didn't bitch when expansions replaced the weapons/armor I worked so hard for. I didn't complain when my epic fists were replaced by raid weapons. For the record, epic weapons could take months to complete early on when they were introduced. I didn't complain when quested blues outright replaced raid gear in WoW expansions. I won't complain when Destiny does the same thing. Your all free to leave at any time. That, or you can just continue to run VoG for 10 years. I'll go for actual progression.
