Same boat. Have weapons I had planned on ascending, but don't see the point. Got 6 Etheric lights yesterday, just sitting in the Vault. I don't need to ascend, just got tired of moving weapons from char to char. On the other hand, I'm OK with new stuff. I figured we'd be retiring the standbys sooner or later, so it comes as no surprise to me. Just, no reason to run vault or Crota. All I need is Timepiece, but aside from collecting what's the point?
