Destiny is just heart breaking now. #sunsetting sucks

Played Destiny since D1 launched on Playstation. Through every DLC without taking a break. Have paid for the season and annual pass content and until now I played it all too. Now however I can't bring myself to log into the game any more. The reason: Surprise - It's Sunsetting. Every time I go to the vault to search for a weapon I see brief glimpses of weapons I can't use for endgame activities any more. Some were meta once, others were just great fun but now 70% of my vault is sunset treasures and the rest will be sunset soon so what's the point? Does Bungie really want me to go out and invest more of my time grinding for gear that will just be useless in 12 months. No thanks, that's not for me. Some of the guns I was trying to get last year got sunset before I could find a 'god roll' so I never got to experience that and now I never will. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the story and the new raid but it's just too painful to go to the vault now. Think about it for a minute. Nightfall and it seems an increasing number of other activities require the use of specific weapon types. You know, the ones where you are required to use guns that will work with with unstop/barrier/overload mods and now you are limited by sunsetting too. Wow what a great choice of gear I don't have! Don't even get me started on having to regrind for new versions of sunset weapons. That's just nuts and if you actually want to do that you should check yourself into the asylum now. Thought it might be ok at first. I noticed that Last Wish raid weapons and armour even the ones I already had in the vault had been given a reprieve and whilst some newer weapons were sunset these were not. For me a looter shooter should be giving the player the freedom to use any or all of the weapons they have at their disposal an not giving each a best before date. It just goes against everything I believe the game should be. We only have so much vault space and if you keep creating new guns I will run out of space. At that point though it will be up to me which weapons I keep and which I don't. I know some people will support it. But for all those of you that were crying out for Mountaintop to be sunset in crucible hope you are happy that everyone can just buy it now instead of having to do the fairly tough quest. And Jotun - the 'no skill kill' replacement for mountaintop - previously locked behind a five week long quest can now be bought for a token handed out free with the season pass. I know I've been killed by that way more than I was by mountaintop. Great job Bungie. By pandering to new players, just handing out tough to get exotics and sunsetting all the guns that your most loyal players have spent literally years earning you finally broken my spirit. With a heavy heart I say goodbye. I just can't take it anymore - I could not even summon the enthusiasm to do the 2nd part of the Hawkmoon quest. I'm sure its great but it can't make up for the betrayal that is sunsetting. Good luck to Bungie and to those of you who stay. Who knows, if sunsetting is scrapped you may well see me again some time in the future, but for as long as it remains a part of the game I will not.

    Sunsetting has had an impact on this game, but so has all the other components that Bungie has just gone from bad to worse....like crucible, re-grinding weapons, lack of new content, simply put lack of innovation to that degree that in their desperate attempt to do...something, they make the game worse. Looking at my friends list and who and how many plays, I can conclude this game is dying.
