I'm fine with them cycling out SOME of the weapons, but yes, I think that in the long run, Destiny would benefit from bringing some of the exotics (at the very least) through the years. Hell, I think the same can be said of Raid gear, since it's arguably the equipment in the game that means the most (you can't get it any other way). I understand that it's important to give players a reason to play through the new content, use new weapons, etc., but I think the onus should be on Bungie to make players want the new weapons (as opposed to getting rid of the old ones, forcing players to want the new gear). At the end of the day, the game will be better overall if there are people using weapons from year 1, while others are using weapons from year 5. If variety is the thing that will keep this game thriving, keeping at least some gear all the way through is the definition. I also think, as others have proposed, that at the LEAST we should have the option to transmogrify our armor to look how we want. I'm fine wearing new legendary and exotic armor, but I want the option to have it look like anything I've gotten before, so that I can hand tailor my look.
