basically, what he's trying to say, is that the overpowered problem is easily solved through buffs, nerfs, and overall weapon tweaks. Leaving old weapons behind is simply a lazy solution that harms the chances of lots of players sticking with the franchise

Some weapons are fundamentally broken. You can't balance them without completely changing how they function. And at that point it's just the name and model of the weapon that's carrying over.

Even if thorn wasn't a two shot or would still be used because it prevents health regen

completely changing the few fundamentally broken to allow the majority of the fundamentally balanced weapons to carry over is fine by me I for example just want my adept scholar to carry over or my queenbreakers bow or my now tweaked/nerfed for pvp thorn ( I don't use it in pvp at all unless it's trials, I just really like its thorn burn in pve. And now that it's getting stacking it would be a beast for taking out ads if it was getting carried over ) or my vision of confluence or my doctor nope or my mida multi tool or my hard light nerfing the overpowered minority, be it to oblivion or not, is a sacrifice I'm willing to take if my currently non overpowered and currently overpowered weapons stay relevant in game ( and btw, there really isn't a single weapon that would become fundamentally useless with nerfs. They'd simply become more situational rather than king of all trades )
