BARMP!!
You said it, I agree with it. Great post!
I don't see their need to replace content with each expansion. Let the game grow! If one Year One is going to "ascend" they all should ascend, we should be able to select our favorites if they must be limited, or just they should not be included in year two and have the slots the "upgraded" versions are taking should have something new.
It's pretty crazy as well that they say, "moving forward we're going to respect players time" then the next breath say we're selecting what you'll bring with you regardless of the time you've invested in them.
As much as people hate Thorn I spent a long time on the bounty. So for me, that's the exotic I kind of want to take with me. Others will have the exotics (notice how I'm not even bringing up legendaries) that they are attached to because it challenged them to get. So in the very LEAST exotics that had a bounty and didn't rely on RNG should be first in what is [i]permitted [/i]to ascend.
Destiny is just turning into that game when we were little that had that one kid that was making all the rules and would change them constantly to suit themselves.
[u]We didn't like playing with that kid...[/u]

Yeah, and you brought up another good point. In the video they were commenting, talking about "what will be the next Thorn?" and such, asking which weapons will be the next whatever compared to older weapons. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself if they were looking to make different weapons that are replacing the old, why not just KEEP the old ones and simply create NEW weapons instead? How many of these new Legendary and Exotic weapons are going to be essentially a remake of what people already have but with a higher max damage? Just seems rather pointless to me. I mean if the Year 2 weapons were really that good and that new, then they should be able to stand on their own two feet without having to relegate Year 1 stuff to being "lesser" by comparison.

Yep, if the hype were real nerfs would be unnecessary because we'll want the new amazing blah blah weapons and gladly leave the year 1's behind.
