Make it rain? (Destiny)

I disagree. Destiny allows you to keep weapons for far larger spreads then other games. Most MMOs force you to drop new gear after 2-3 levels difference. In Destiny you can get blues that last from level 10 to 20, and purples go from 20-30 no problem. The new weapons have only 20 attack power more then current, so it is like you didn't upgrade one bubble on your legendary. It really won't matter much outside the raid.

It doesn't matter if the difference between Destiny and other MMOs is 1-10 levels or 1-2, the point of it is that it is still the same: Eventually, you will be at a situation where you can't use your favorite "X" tier weapon or armor (maybe you like certain perks it has, or maybe you just love it for it's aesthetics) because you can't level it anymore and you need to keep leveling to progress in the game.

It's just inherent to the design of an MMO- you aren't supposed to get attached to items and the way you look, because it's always changing.

And it does matter, considerably, in other areas. I really like the the first rifle you get in Destiny, the one you find when you are first revived by your ghost.

I can't use it in PVE.

It's a lvl 1 gun. I can't go into any of the strike playlists with it, or any missions. I mean, I COULD, but it won't do squat against enemies.

I'm not exaggerating either, I genuinely like that gun, but I can't use it. It's obsolete. Eventually, your (current) favorite Legendary weapon will be too!
