Please change old gear disadvantage in the grading system
Ok, so new gear gets damage & resist bonuses, fine. Just let me use my old gear in the portal and still have a chance at an A grade. This is the single biggest pain point for me in the new expansion!

4 RepliesMy old gear is holding up just fine. All I had to do was farm a legendary class item and I’ve improved my builds. My adepts are better than anything they’ve offered. None of my gear is “sunset” like the 10000 posts here claimed. It’s exhausting correcting the amount of nonsense that’s posted here on a daily basis.

2 RepliesSeems backward. If new gear is potentially more powerful than old gear, using old gear should raise your grade.

I’m assuming you’re using the new gear only modifier. Just use the locked loadout modifier and you get even more multiplier. I’ve been using sleeper stimulant and speeding through it all.

Chuck on some ornaments for new armor

You are right the old gear got me through the campaign and even some of the expert level stuff just fine. now my biggest fear is that bungie's going to see posts like this and they're going to be like "you know what they're right" And the pull one of the bungie special moves and go in and absolutely nuke all of the old gear..

1 ReplyWait, you're telling me thats why I haven't seen the A grade yet because I'm using my old tried and true gear and not the new crappy stuff? WTF kind of stupidity is that?

3 RepliesIt does feel bad having to pick from a limited number of armors and weapons in order to get a high score. What's the point in grinding all this gear over the years if I'm going to be penalized for using it? I've got dozens of Exotics I enjoy, but shouldn't use because it'll put me at a disadvantage. This is going to be especially true at higher end where we'll need top quality loadouts to compete, but 7/8ths of the gear we've got in our Vault makes us less competitive. The railroading doesn't feel great.

It sucks, I got some good weapons and armor, but I can't use them because of the gear grading system!
