But what about the weapons that are not being renewed? My fate cries foul is not causing power creep and yet I am being forced to use a sniper that I like less.

One big plus for sunsetting for me is people will use a wider range of weapons. They will actually go test that morning comes as opposed to instantly dismantling it because you're "good on snipers" Ita a loot game, and we need valuable loot to grind incrementally rather than getting to keep something for 2 years and seeing no change in your load out. Whats the point in them trying to make fun ways to play the game if youre just gonna stand inside a well with WOL on sending GLs at it. I really dont believe this is a bad thing. It sounds bad to alot of people but this is essentially the way the game was intended to be. Make cool stuff, let us play with it then make new stuff that takes over the old. I've done it many times in the past, over a dozen games. You spend months farming dungeons for a set, only for them to bring out a new critical strike set. And it sucks because your crit rate was better with old set and stats, but the armor on the old stuff is so low that you csnt use it viably on end game stuff or new stuff. I could still use it on older stuff, but new stuff, nope. So for many of us, this is actually how we were raised on loot games. I get a lot of bungie shill hate, but this change makes me happy. Theory crafting will be in full effect.
