PETITION: VoG weapons at 331. Raids shouldn't be rendered irrelevant.

[You guys came up with so many great ideas. I really wish Bungie had a look at the comments here.]
[b]Come on, Bungie, give us the freedom to choose whatever suits our style best and don't let those awesome weapons you've designed become obsolete. Actually, don't let the stunning Vault of Glass (best content in the game) be consumed by the darkness.
I believe that Raids and its weapons should always be the at level cap. More weapons to choose from, more content to play.
Weapons are mostly situational and mixing them is part of a successful strategy (it's fun too). Having more to choose from just add to the game.
Edit: I'm not suggesting to automatically turn them into 331 attack weapons. Just give us a way to upgrade them to the current attack cap. I bet you guys can implement it in a sensible way.
Why would we go against the idea of having more relevant weapons at our disposal? It's like saying "I'd rather have less weapons, less content". Let's not be passively attached to an old format. Destiny is something new with immense potential.[/b]
=====================
Some great comments Bungie should pay some attention to:

"But what they decide to do with VOG weapons speaks to the future of the current raid weapons as well. Right now, there is an expiration date on my Fatebringer and that sucks, supremely, but now that same feeling isn't too far for my Black Hammer either. I'd like to carry these weapons with me as long as I am playing Destiny. Yeah, future weapons maybe better and I end up scraping these guns one day but I'd like to be able to decide for myself versus having no choice in the matter. Just my take on the situation".

"The problem lies within the way they have designed the upgrading system. They are going to have to re work how you upgrade weapons and armor. Yeah they could just update the VOC gear up to 32 and 331 but what happens when the House of Wolves comes out? Then they are going to have to update both Dark Below and VOC all over again the prevent them from being obsolete. They need to just make it were the players can choose the path they want to take. You choose what armor and weapons you want to upgrade to the highest rank. I mean make it a difficult task. I wouldn't mind the challenge and it would inspire players to be more creative with their characters rather than every single person wearing the same gear".

"Upgrading older legendary weapons could finally give a use for the Gunsmith beyond buying ammo and weapons at a low level. Not to mention it would help provide a larger variety of "good" weapons so that we would have more things to work towards. After all the various DLC's are done, just imagine how varied the weapon and armor selection would be. (Speaking of which, vendors should be able to upgrade armor as well.)"

Edited by ShadowNinja77: 1/7/2015 8:01:33 PMThis 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.
