Other games make gear irrelevant all the time. No big deal imo. Sounds like you all have never played progression based games. No one complains that their level 50 weapons in Everquest, WoW, or RIFT should be automatically or otherwise upgraded to be current. If that was the case why would you ever run new raids if old gear never got old?

  • New guns. Different gear so not everyone looks the same way. Which ever the people like better

  • The difference is though, with those games, there are a lot of different types of weapons That comes out with each new expansion. Here, there are 4 new primaries, 3 new special and 2 new heavy, with each new raid, and usually 1-2 exotics and a raid exotic. All have the same perks and same elemental damage. If it randomly rolled perks and elemental damage like it does for other legendary weapons, then there would be no need. Or if they could come out with a weapon creation/modification system where you could assign points to the different abilities like ROF or impact, reload, stability, etc... Then there would be no reason for upgrading previous weapons. But as it stands, right now, everyone gets the same perks and abilities and elemental damage on the same weapon. So, for me at least, I still use my fatebringer and VOC a lot due to I like the perks and stats, the only thing about them I do not like is the decreased attack level.

  • When I played WoW you had a choice of a few different raids that were all at your level. I can't remember if there were a few for each side (alliance/horde) or not. Also they were not increasing the level cap and obsoleteing your gear every three months.

  • Maybe in vanilla they didn't but they most certainly do now. Every patch is basically a new tier of raids which replaces the previous tier. The only mistake destiny made was the vendor gear being able to get you to 31 which the deva have said they would not make that mistake again.

  • They did in vanilla too. Its always been WoWs way. You master one raid then move on up to the next. Hell even vanilla had 4 Or 5 raids. The only difference is that WoW intends for an xpac to last 2 years rather than 6 month Dlc and they actually have the content to stretch it out. I think Destiny is off to a rough start but so was WoW in its day. Give it some time and it'll either get better or fade away. Hopefully it'll get better.

  • I played lich king and cataclysm. At those times expansions were about 2 years apart. Seems they have really sped things up these days. What is the level cap, like 250?
