[quote]They wanted a new armory system. One that had different options and varied what people used.[/quote] Not to sound like a broken record, but did you play House of Wolves? Because that is EXACTLY what it did to the ecosystem. HoW saw more varied gear use than ever before, because it gave people CHOICES. Yes, there were still a few weapons that were ABSOLUTELY used too often (Ghorn still reigned in PvE, Thorn/TLW in PvP, etc.), but the 2.0 patch already [i]fixed[/i] that. So, if anything, allowing Infusion for Year 1 would've have almost certainly done [i]exactly[/i] what you're asking, even BETTER than before. And, even if you don't care about using old stuff, think about it; would that fact that I still used old gear affect your experience in any way? I have no interest in stopping you from playing with whatever gear you chose, but I would like the [i]same option[/i]. :/
