Out of curiosity, why do you prefer being made to leave gear behind?

One it's because the thought of collecting all new gear is exciting to me, it would bring back thay sense of discovery I loved about the original game. Also I'm not a fan of certain guns that haunt the current game like thorn and even my favored tlw. I think it would be good to just purge the game of all the guns and start fresh... I know it's not practical especially since many of the weapons are written into the lore of the game. But still something I wouldn't be upset with.
