Edge of Fate: Will all armor and weapons basically be seasonal?
Ok. I've got a different thread going trying to figure out if my current vault is going to be trash. From that and other threads I think I've got this figured out.
Bungie is changing Destiny to a model where all armor and all weapons are basically seasonal. When EoF releases, you can choose to run old loot and not gain DR or damage bonuses, or you can get new loot and gain DR and damage bonuses.
The when Renegades releases, all the stuff you just acquired may still be tier 5, but you'll lose the DR and damage bonuses. So you need to re-grind to replace all of that T5 stuff you just spent 6 months earning.
If that's going to be the game model, why don't they just come out and say it? This model probably doesn't impact the hardcore players and streamers much. But what about the other 90% of the community? My gut says why play a looter-shooter where your loot is temporary?

It would prevent power creep kinda...there will always be a best option gear wise but a perpetual treadmill is not the way...gear needs to last for a while otherwise it won't be worth doing anything but the bare minimum and that will not drive any kind of motivation towards the game...I already don't engage with most of the game over needing a team for everything and once people break themselves grinding an activity they won't want to do it again killing any opportunities of getting anything done even though LFG...posts are drying up or requires "meta x clear KWTD"...
