Its a really tricky one. I never had VoC but as I love scouts I would probably use it still. However there also lies the problem. If you could bring VoC to year two, regardless of scouts like the Hung Jury etc (which are excellent) you would use VoC, you wouldn't be interested in trying out a single one of the new ones. The result, a complaint that theres no good weapons in year 2. Not necessarily by you, but you know there would be. By default we become attached to the guns we get first and hate change. You can almost guarantee that IF everything came forward, the general load out of the end game guardian would still be Fatebringer/VoC, Black Hammer, Gjallarhorn. Nobody would be interested in the Black Spindle, the Sleeper Simulant and so on...there would be even more bitching if thats even possible. Not because those guns are far and away better than what we have now (because apart from the crutch elements for burn nightfalls they aren't in many cases) but because we got attached to them, they carried us through year 1 destroying all along the way. Bungie may have lied, they may not have, but they have broken the cycle of running through everything with one load out. Can you imagine this place if we could all run through from first mission to hard mode oryx with the same guns we had already?? seeing how much bitching there is about content already I think it would be 10 times worse.
