I guess we'll have to agree, to disagree. Ascending gear is what made the gear from the vault and crota useless. I've spent countless hours to gain the gear from both. Even bought the gear from the prison, just to keep up. I had guns I loved to use, and stuck with those for most of the events. With the new system i had to learn to adapt again, it felt like I was learning the rules over again. And Honestly it has become more enjoyable for me than it was before. If I had the opportunity to run the older raids with a higher light level if only to gain back my gear, I would happily do so.
