After having spent some time on the forum, I am just baffled when I see people trying to defend Bungie and being happy with the new tiering system for both weapons and armors.
Do you really know what it means?! Are you sure really? You can say whatever you want to argue with me but you have to face the facts (and only the facts).
The new tiering system in its [u]current state[/u] simply means [b]SUNSETTING[/b] the whole Destiny 2 content!!!
After the release of Edge of Fate, who is going to play the current raids, dungeons, gambit activities anymore? The answer is [b]NOBODY!!![/b] Simply because the weapons will only be T3 at best (I think we can even forget to talk about the armors outside for cosmetics).
Bungie has been clear, they want us to delete everything we currently have in the mid-term. And do you know why? They are simply lazy and they want to reduce the overall costs of the IT infrastructure such as databases (with the Vault). Give me a better answer to this question: why do they not add more slots in the vault?
[u]I will repeat it again and again and again until I am heard[/u]: I don't mind the new tiering system which will give us something new. But in its current state this is clearly [b]NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!![/b]
To ensure the [u]smoothest transition[/u] to the new tiering system (and make everyone happy without deprecating the whole D2 content), you need to develop a system where you will have the possibility to [b][u]UPGRADE[/u][/b] the current weapons and armors. This system could be done through Banshee-44 or the Forge where you have to farm quests + components to upgrade stuff from T3 to T4/T5.
This is also going to give us the opportunity to invest even more time on your game for us to upgrade our weapons where we've spent hours and hours to grind. Again, this is not acceptable to see T5 weapons dealing more damage than T3 and you need to rethink this.

You sir summed it up perfectly. I will quit the game if they don't change that right away. I have 5k+ hours. It is like they give us the finger. it's an absolute insult and the worst update that they could have come up with. Sunsetting, Regrinding power level yet again. no new content to speak of. it is pure and utter trash on every level and everyone who is even remotely ok with this is either delusional, not a dedicated player or doesn't have the mental faculties to understand what is coming. I have zero hype and preparing mentally to leave the game. Give newer players what they want hell give it to them for free but leave my stuff alone. And for the love of god do not make me power level regrind the same item over and over again. That there alone made me quit for 6 months because I just couldn't take it anymore. Then again most people are simple people. The outrage over one consecration being taken away (an ability a player did not have to earn but was given to them) is evidence of that. And think about this: Given the content drought that has been going on for the better part of 2 years now at least for me - and I would assume for many other dedicated players - the only reason (literally the only reason) to play the game was to collect your god rolls, use them, have variety and fun. To get there you were even ok doing the same thing 10 times over. And now here we are and with a snap of the finger they started the sunset progress that will take all that away from us. Madness. Disregarding your player's time in that way should be a fireable offense.
