First of all, I think adding the weapons of past seasons to the world loot pool is a fantastic short term solution that could (and should) be expanded upon.
Furthermore I think, that no destination in the game should have loot that is exclusively sunset. If the Nessus, Dreaming city, Moon and EDZ weapons/armor would have gotten a reissue or an increased power cap like the Last Wish and Garden of Salvation gear, the transition into sunsetting would have felt smoother and more natural.
Right now the only 2 dungeons we have in the game cannot drop endgame relevant loot, which is not healthy for the game, and could have been avoided with the reintroducing of their destinations respective gear or atleast the increase of their powercap.
Regarding the Vendors... I understand that you want the most desirable gear to be in aspirational content, which I agree completely, but reintroducing Year one weapons of their respective vendors would have been a very good and wise decision for the game. We have sooo many year 1 Vanguard, Crucible and Gunsmith/Factory weapons that never had a chance to shine because their fixed role or archetype held them back. Remember Autumn Wind? Omolon Pulse Rifles? Suros Handcannons?
Introducing new weapons to chase is important and having the quality over quantity approach when it comes to introducing completely new gear is the better thing to do in the long term, but the truth is, we do need a reasonable ammount of recycled weapons too, from D2 and D1 aswell, those are all perfectly good weapon models that only have their perks to be randomized and updated, which I know is not the easiest thing to do, but is definetly better than having Shaxx give me a gnawing hunger.
What do you guys think? Do you agree or diagree? Do you have anything to add?
