I don't know why this wasn't implemented already. I'm stunned that Bungie was so quick to say that VENDOR gear will be more powerful than Vault of Glass gear. The problem is, yet again, Bungie's leveling up system. Bungie doesn't want non-DLC owners to get to level 32, so they CANT make the gear stronger, for example. Basically, they are limiting personalization because of people who haven't paid for DLC, in my opinion. I would love to wear my vault of glass gear with my Crota's end gear, but I cant, and that sucks. I wish I could use my Atheon's epiIogue and Praedyth's revenge more, but they are slowly becoming useless. I don't know why these weapons can't be upgraded, really. The leveling system really should have been thought out a bit more. It doesn't embrace customization at all. I don't feel 'legend' when I come across people who have the same stuff as me on. I don't feel 'legend' when I am forced to take off my VoG gear that I worked for to simply purchase VENDOR gear that is stronger.
