Hopefully the mods won't be like "OMG duplicate thread DELET"

Because Bungie has never addressed or answered this directly, so please /u/cozmo23 /u/dmg04 address this.

Anyway, title pretty much says it, but for example:

It took me an extraordinary amount of time to farm for the Long Shadow roll I have due to the nature of farming Vanguard weapons is not easy (tokens and rng, rip), so this is the best example I have.

When I saw that my pinnacle guns would be cycling out like Recluse, Mountaintop, 21%, etc. I was really okay with that assuming that "hey if Bungo takes away my pinnacles, maybe they'll bring pinnacles back!" which would totally be worth it.

But when I saw the random rolls were going away I had really mixed feelings about it as some were just incredibly hard to get. I guess in a way I came to just accept the fate.

Until....

Literally the first strike I did this season I got a random Long Shadow drop with terrible rolls (like most Long Shadow drops) but with a max power of 1360 and an Arrivals icon.

BUNGIE! Why would you do this to us? This is literally just forcing players to go through hell for the SAME gun. It's not like I'm getting a new or different gun with new or interesting rolls, it's the SAME GUN.

This is not content. This is tedious repetitive busywork with no real logic behind it, because the gun has been reissued this season, so it's not actually going away.

I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea but.. sun setting is bad enough as it is, this is just insulting.

There really needs to be a means of infusing a NEW powerlevel into an older version of the SAME GUN. Because if you are KEEPING the gun in the game, what is the harm in letting us use the one we worked so hard for?

Please re-evaluate this. It is incredibly disappointing.

You should really give us a mechanism for infusing the newer version of the SAME WEAPON into the old one.

I'll definitely share this idea with the team. We're sharing all of the feedback on reissued weapons we are seeing. I've seen some players say that if weapons are reissued they should have updated perks. Let us know what you think.
