[quote]Because weapons from Year 1 do not belong in the Year 2 meta. [/quote] First off; there is no "Year 2 meta;" there's a [i]TTK[/i] meta, and it's not the same thing. There isn't anymore difference between the HoW/TTK meta than between the Vanilla/TDB meta; it's still just [i]one DLC[/i] ahead of the former, regardless of how late in the game's lifespan it released. "Year 2" is a goddam buzzword, and (like you said) just an arbitrary marker that people are throwing around. Also, to your "10 years from now" point; It's [i]YEAR[/i] 2, not [i]DESTINY[/i] 2, bro. The [i]actual[/i] 'Destiny 2' is slated to release next fall. Destiny isn't like WoW, because it isn't going to exists as a [i]single[/i] ecosystem for a decade; it's going to be a [i]FRANCHISE.[/i] I.e., Destiny 3 won't be "Year 5" anymore than Halo 3 was "Year 6" of the Halo franchise. If Bungie want's to overhaul the ecosystem between games, that makes sense, but TTK, regardless of content is still the SAME GAME!
