Couple of things: Regarding the VOG and "better damaging weapons" part. If you run any PvE activity and outrank it by over 5 (or 10) your overall damage and stats are cut. This is shown by going back to earth and doing the strike. No 1 shots and no invincibility. Technically, depending, the VOG weaponry may be on par with the big guns we are going to get, under given situations. Next, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your points. I am merely going to make the same statement I make on all of these kinds of posts: If Bungie wanted to, TTK could have [b]been a new game altogether.[/b] Meaning they didn't have to allow our rank, current gear, progress, etc carry over. COD doesn't, Halo doesn't, why should Destiny? Because they respect your progress. So what if a year of legendaries doesn't carry over. People were pissed when Crota gear bypassed VOG gear much the same way as they are now. Be glad for everything that does and not being forced to hit the reset button. Think on the other side of the fence, you would be surprised what you may figure out if you look at both sides and learn to let go. You seriously didn't expect to carry the same gun for the full 10yr contract did you?
