The thing about this is that by the way the game is designed, gear was never meant to ascend in the first place. They allowed us to do it because they wanted to make everyone happy but that was never the plan. If you look at any actual mmo gear becomes obsolete with every new content release and destiny is just following that model. I'm not saying that destiny is an mmo nor am I saying that I agree with everything they're doing but if you kept using your same gear the entire way through the game then that pretty much nullifies any real progress and makes everything even more repetitive. If every new challenge they presented could just be answered by gally for the rest of the lifespan of destiny then I feel like the game itself doesn't progress which means the community won't progress. If there's no progression is there really a reason to continue making destiny if it's just gonna be the same thing for the next ten years?
