In most MMO when they release expansions they release more powerful gear. Bungie started with powerful gear in vanilla and has been steadily giving us less powerful gear. I looked at every vendor after How dropped and NONE sold high impact snipers. It was all low impact high RoF. Same with scout rifles. As for the level cap change, does that mean EVERY THING is gonna go up in level? Are we going to get level 45 versions of patrol or strikes? If not, why would we bother playing those activities?
