Great post. Solid points. But this way they can remake old guns as exotics (looking at you black spindle and Ace of Spades) and sell us back our old exotics in future dlc. If they allow infusion, it eliminates potential avenues of revenue and increases work load. And if you have any weapons lying around from year one, pull up a year two weapon with similar stats. The year 1 weapon is always better. Last extremity is objectively worse than Badger CCL even though they are almost identical guns. Its subtle, but year 1 weapons are just better. Year 2 is about redefining the edges of the weapon sandbox. To do that, they had to make a call. Get rid of your favorite toys and cause a riot. Or get rid of all the toys and say its just a thing they are gonna do moving forward.
