1) Thats just your opiniom and some of the others, other people still want to play old school, so instead of just choosing one why not choose both? They got nothing to lose, they instead will get more happier players, since for once Bungie decided to gave us a choice. 2) Of course its far better lol, it should be, thats what the year 1 beta test was for! So why was bungie scared of pitting them against year 1 gear again? Idk, beats me 3) Like i said only your opinions and some of the others, other can feel totally the other way around, why can't bungie just 2 sides happy instead of one, hell missing fatebringer lol, it already has a year 2 version only without the elemental damage, Vision of confluence? Lol full auto raid scout, but its good that theyre better though (or so i heard). As for me, well im slowly drifting away, kinda happy that im not playing destiny anymore, I might leave these forums soon.
