The problem with this argument is you see the game as a cohesive whole. Think of the good aspects. If it was a CoD game, which they make every year, your old gear wouldn't even exist in the new one. They already hinted at our exotics able to be ascended, so who cares about the lengendaries? "But I like my fatebringer". Sure, so does everyone, but the fact is the game is getting better and better. Just because they are scraping the old doesn't mean the new is going to let us down. For all we know, they might make new, better versions of legendaries. Maybe we'll get a souped-up version of the fatebringer, that causes chain explosions. Stop looking so dour, I'm sure bungie has a secret master plan to shock us. As for the whole, "fanboy" thing, if you don't like the game, then don't play it. Don't be upset with other players simply because they like the game more than others do.
