I think everyone is just snakebit over the fact that the weapons have gotten progressively worse since the initial launch/raid. So why should the next set of weapons be any different? I'd be more than happy to drop my first year weapons for new equal or better weapons, but Bungie's track record of giving us the next best thing (more like the next worst thing) doesn't give me much hope. This is why people want to hold on to what they have.
