Weapons I can kind of understand, I would've done it differently, but armour being sunset is, to my mind, completely pointless and ONLY serves to waste our time and artificially increase the grind.
Can anyone give me a solid reason why armour needs sunsetting? Anyone?
Bungie can you give a valid reason? You claim to be listening but you rarely answer any serious questions.
If bungie roll back armour sunsetting I and possibly many others could get on board with it.

Bungie has been trying to implement more RPG elements to D2 for a while now, starting with Armor 2.0 and so on. Sunsetting is, unfortunately, a part of that process. It’s a common feature amongst a lot of the MMORPG series out there. The real issue, in my opinion, isn’t sunsetting itself, it’s the fact that they waited 3 years to implement it. Had this been a regular feature of the game at the beginning, then I don’t think it would have anywhere close to the negative impact it’s currently having. All that said, I think that over time everyone will adjust and sunsetting will cease to be a major issue. Once everyone is used to the life cycle of the gear they’re getting then it’ll be easier to accept.
