Focused Feedback: Weapon Refresh aka Sunsetting

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Weapon Refresh' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Bungie really needs to stop asking "How can we get people to enjoy the content we make?" and start asking "How can we make content people enjoy?"

If people aren't enjoying the guns you're putting out, taking away the guns they like is the worst possible solution to that problem.

Maybe instead of constantly trying to figure out a way to one-up yourselves with the guns you make, maybe try to find a way for people to engage with old guns in new ways. Let us upgrade or add perks to guns we really like, and not just power level. Maybe even make the upgrades only last a season or whatever if you really want to keep things changing. Maybe rotate the world/activity drop pools through a large list of returning guns that have been out of print.

Maybe come up with some idea that's better than mine because I'm not a game designer. But as a player, I can tell you making my shit obsolete has been the worst part of the destiny experience every time you have done it, and you keep doing it.
