Bungie is discounting the personal relationship people develop with tools. This is a timeless dynamic they ignore at their peril.
Nothing wrong with adding new, but what if they DONT hit the mark with new gear? Look at the pitifully reduced perks of HoW gear?!?
Example: I'm not impressed with my Aegis of Kells pulse rifle with its 'chance' to do extra damage to Dregs, compared to my Time-On-Target or Praedith' Timepiece.
Grinding yet-again to replace everything is too much like a make-work mechanic. This thinking is what drove my son to stop playing.
*sniff*
I miss running with him.

Edited by AttilaTheNvn: 8/10/2015 11:42:18 AMFirst-off, If my dad played games, I'd play the hell out of [i]anything[/i] he was interested in, just to spend time with him. It's upsetting to hear that design flaws have the ability to come between you and your son. XC But yes, I'm genuinely attached to a lot of my gear, and I don't see anything wrong or strange about it! I've spent a [i]huge[/i] amount of time playing Destiny over the past year, and the effort of acquiring all of my favorite gear has naturally given it a ton of value to me, as validation for the time I've spent on the game and proof of my accomplishments (like my set of Adept primaries from Trials). It's just a game, of course, and I have plenty more important things going on in my life, but I've still spent an enormous amount of time in this game over the past year, and now I'm just supposed to accept that it was [i]all for nothing[/i], ultimately? It's more than a little heartbreaking, honestly. I'm not at all willing to put another 500-600hrs into a game that didn't value my time the [i]first[/i] time around.
