I'm interested in the specifics of leaving the current Raid gear out of the equation.
Exotics should not be the only weapons/armor that should be able to be upgraded. Raid gear needs to be included in that.
I've spent quite a bit of time in the VoG, I like the way the VoG Raid armor looks, and I love my Vision of Confluence and Praedyth's Revenge. I worked hard and ground out hours upon hours to not only get them, but to upgrade them as well.
Now I'm told that after only three months, they're going to be effectively obsolete?
Bungie, do you know how much of your glitchy crap I had to put up with in the Vault of Glass to get that Facade of the Hezen Lords? Not to mention the countless wipes and hours to complete the armor set (which still isn't complete as I cannot get the Treads of the Hezen Lords...)?
Raid gear needs to be allowed to upgrade as well.

And don't reset our exotics to zero upgrades when we wait for the weekend that Xur has the upgraded version of the exotic we already have and purchase it for 7000 glimmer+strange coins for the second time. Run-on sentence to match the Run-on bullshit going on at Bungie HQ. Quit recycling content and do your -blam!-ing job. We as a community are paying a shitload of money to repeat the same upgrades on our guns??? Pshhhh get real Bunghole.
