Hypocrisy. Cries about 'insults' - of which alleged 'insults' are facts of the matter, see your delusional 'every loot veteran' comment - followed by your insults. Mere hypocrite. Strawman attempt - you were not called stupid, foolish nor a dupe. What instead was stated was Repeating, endlessly, the same misunderstanding that Bungie made a promise it cannot keep is dull-witted and false." This too is factual. This cosy, convenient fantasy that there were no other options on the table is ridiculous, ludicrous, it's blinkered, lacking any credibility. There are (of course, entirely self-evidently) other options to provide other solutions to core issues behind Sunsetting. These are: powercreep, incentives, and gear variation sufficient for promotional discussion. That you endlessly repeat the same response, the same blatant (to everyone else, apparently) falsehood is what makes it dull-witted. With potential credibility anyone absolutely can (and they do) make various cases on the pros and cons of various strategic options, believing one to be to degrees 'better' in their estimation (suiting certain players....over others) to claim there is only one is a truly myopic bizarre position without any possible substantiation. I've already dismissed your non-starter appeal to (self) authority that you are clearly so keen on as an weak argument aside from being less as I mentioned. Overall you don't listen, before too long you'll be repeating the same old weak trash not even Bungie would try to pass off, let alone actually believe, that: Bungie made a promise they couldn't keep, they absolutely had no other option, that all veterans were unanimous in jubilant support, etc., etc. That is not close to even beginning understanding nor close to reality.
