You want a reason, bro? Here's your reason; [quote] Bungie Weekly Update 12/04/2014: "In the months to come, your quest to become more powerful will have more avenues that lead to satisfaction. [u][b]The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete.[/b][/u] Since the reveal, we’ve read a lot of ideas for how this could have been done better. Your feedback is clear: [u][b]The time you have invested in your stuff should be respected[/b][/u]."[/quote] Because they already made this [i]exact[/i] mistake, before, and they [i]literally[/i] said they freaking [i]would. Not. Do. It. Again.[/i] -It invalidates [i]player effort[/i] (discouraging them from further investing in the game... Which is counter-intuitive) -It invalidates [i]their own content[/i] (that would otherwise add to the game's overall attraction to new players... Which is counter-intuitive) -It invalidates [i]loot[/i]... in a [i]loot-based game[/i] (Do I even need to explain that one? Again, [i]counter-intuitive[/i].) _______________ In short, there's a smorgasbord of positive (arguably [i]essential[/i]) reasons to keep bringing gear forward, and [i]zero[/i] negatives. Your move.
