*Titles: Give me a reason* *Starts by saying don't give me these reasons* Well gee Sherlock, I'm noticing a problem here. Are you really crying about not being able to use them anymore? "But now that's all gone; none of MY experience matters in this game, anymore" Calm down there Shakespeare, there's no reason to be so melodramatic. As with any EVOLVING game, old items become obsolete to make way for new ones. I can't imagine how hilarious it would be if someone playing a different MMO like Guild Wars would complain about not being able to use their level 2 stick in a level 20 area meanwhile they have access to level 22 Staffs Do you know why the Taken are strong? It's because all our Year One weapons are so useless against them. Can you imagine if killing Oryx just required some Gjalley and fatebringer spam? There'd be absolutely nothing new or powerful about him or his taken warriors. By making all those weapons useless they instilled a sense of power and urgency, and the new stronger weapons can then instill a sense of power and growth. Well, growth, for most of us. Then there's you having a tantrum like a baby.
