This obsoletion of VOG rewards & eventually Crota rewards goes against one of Destiny's core components that Bungie has been trying to stand firm on. Which is that they want your items to have a story & a feeling attached to them. People want items they felt they earned but did not receive or could no longer keep as such it has led things such as "loot cave" - "making raids ridiculously easy" - "wanting a bigger vault to actually keep things we like" & "wanting a in-game trade system since loot system isn't fixed" people are encouraged & to some extent forced to like something that they know will become obsolete. Not only are the early items eventually made worthless by artificial difficulty but also even the good items are eventually worthless by just a few levels of artificial difficulty, I've heard Level 32 people reporting a outstanding change in difficulty at crota then what 31's have experienced, that is a 1 level difference mind you. For example as well it is practically impossible to find the full armor sets seen worn by each of the 3 class characters in character creation. Yet if I did find a full set it must be replaced as it has nothing to keep it useful, & like I said even good gear faces the same problems everything is kinda technically useless till house of wolves the final expansion, if you think logically why would anyone waste time, resources, nostalgia, all knowing that the gear you would be attached to would become of no use to you eventually. Exotics face this problem, why choose gaunlets, boots, or chest pieces when raid helmets are the most annoying thing to drop when you can solve all the nonsense by just choosing a exotic helmet, not to mention even the helmet will have to get upgraded or rebought, or refarmed. We go on doing this because we like the game, do all this "for fun" & really want to make it better This is by far Destiny's biggest issue is that the game is fighting with itself & it must be made better, stop making the game fight itself & fix it to where it can be in haramony with itself or if the loot system & valuing of "lesser" items isn't fixed then the rightful requests of the consumer should be met by at-least installing a trading system.
