Its difficult to say this without sounding rude but a lot of those year one guns were without equal and are unobtainable to new players stuff like longbow synthesis, the elemental raid weapons rerollable high impact shout guns, thorn, ghorn if these kinds of guns had come into year two then no one would really care about then new weapons endgame pvp when it returns would still have shot package shotguns and thorn(its a still guaranteed three shot) for the sake of balance these weapons needed to be left behind that dosnt mean it wouldnt be cool to have some of them espc VOC and Fatebringer but for the sake of the experience it makes sense
