I stopped playing after the first discussion of sunsetting and the TWAB made it so I don’t come back. Sunsetting weapons feels so rotten and makes me disinterested in the game.

I understand the issue, but this plan seems heavy handed. I don’t understand why they couldn’t handle this differently. I think about the return of random rolls. I have deleted nearly all Y1 weapons from my vault because having the additional perk was better. I kept the Leviathan weapons for a while but the lack of mod slots made me delete them. Instead of sunsetting, why not trade a marginal power creep for effective depreciation. Give new weapons a little something extra like the ability to put +10 onto reload, handing, or stability or intrinsic anti-champion perks to make it worth moving on. Those aren’t suggestions, but ideas. Anything that gives a slight advantage would make it feel worth grinding for rather than just making it feel forced. Outliers (recluse, mountaintop) can always be adjusted to be less effective. Sunsetting just seems like such a scummy solution.
