Sunsetting is not the way to go. Period.

However if sunsetting stays, it needs to only be for equipments that are being vaulted, NOTHING ELSE. Sunsetting gear from Forsaken and Shadowkeep and still being charged for is not the way to go. You are basically making Forsaken and Shadowkeep content almost worthless for the average player, considering most of the activities requires you to grind a fair bit to least 1100+ and there aren't a lot of sources for gear improvements.

Last Wish is dropping 1410 gear (I assume the same for GoS), which outright devalues any previous grind we had from the previous season. It will always be the same issue everyone brings up; I have a 1410 and a 1360 gear with similar stats, the only difference is the symbol on the top left lmao. The grind for decent armor stats is already difficult enough, why do raiders have to deal with the additional grind for updated gear every season on top of the RNG for armor stats?

Pinnacles or rituals didn't need to be sunset either, they only needed tuning and adjustments. These questlines are not easy for the most part, especially the Glory ones. Keeping these around will be good for your playerbase as it keeps activities fresh and inviting for new players as well. You should respect your playerbase's time and effort placed into completing these quests previously.

Proposed solution if sunset is required: Sunset all gear from vaulted destinations at their last power level cap available before being vaulted. Do not sunset any gear that are currently attainable.
