Very much agreed; I just got back to Destiny after a long break and alot of my gear is outdated; Which I ofcourse anticipated. Luckily I CAN ascend/infuse my favorite gear to bump em up to levels I can keep using. This was great news! But when it comes to a few of my favorite cloaks I've got during the countless hours of the first year; "Strength of the pack" and "Shroud of flies", I notice that I simply can't keep using em. Or, well - I could, but it would be hindering my light ALOT Shroud of flies cloak defense rating is 140. Even every green cloak that drops is well over 200. There's nothing "legendary" about that item anymore... I mean sure, I understand it's OLD but couldn't they have bumped the defense ratings of legendary cloaks to around the same ballpark other legendaries are? Or made them upgradeable at least? I really wouldn't have been bummed out for already having a good defense rating in a cloak and not "finding anything better", as I'd most likely only want to change my cloak if something [i]cooler[/i] comes around. To me, they're a way of customization after all, not much more. I'm a sucker for all things character customization and even though I really like the mechanic how the game guarantees progress by constantly giving you better gear, it does take away alot of customization, when you're basically always just cycling in the item with the best rating. Sure, it's a good system overall and I agree this update has made everything alot better and I no longer have the frustration that made me go on a break some time ago. (I kinda often felt like I'm not progressing based on how much time I put in - and that my progress was too heavily down to luck.) but ... yeah, like Saxifraga mentions in their comment; Transmog would be amazing.
