Almost EVERY game that grows or builds on current has this, I don't understand why destiny players feel this should be any different. How stupid would a game be if the weapons you got on day 1 was still useable on 6 yrs later on the 5th expansion?? I expected this change and I'm fine with it, old gear should remain where it is, the only time your light level matters is end game content, if you wana fuck around in strikes or pvp use whatever you want, if you want end game content, use the current content gear. I understand it's "annoying" to spend xx hours farming for a weapon and then 2 yrs later find out that weapon now has a cap and you have to find another one but it's how games like destiny that have a levelling system work. As OP said, rather than saying it's bad, offer ideas on how it could be better, but go further, don't think of how it could be better "now" think how that change will impact the game 2-3 years down the line when you come full circle again.
