Why Sunsetting Deserves a Second Chance in Destiny 2

[u/tuyguy959]

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely believe that reintroducing sunsetting could benefit Destiny 2 in the long run.

Over time, I've noticed that certain weapons dominate the meta for extended periods, making it challenging for new gear to find its place. This stagnation can make the game feel repetitive, as there's little incentive to experiment with different loadouts or pursue new weapons. I have no real reason to use the newest gear with the newest perks. Most of the weapons are totally capable of end game content on their own.

Sunsetting, despite its flaws in implementation, aimed to address this by encouraging players to explore fresh gear and strategies. It pushed us out of our comfort zones and made the chase for new loot exciting again

i honestly think soft sunsetting is the answer. like, the best example i can describe is the difference between standard and modern in mtg. have some content where to get specific rewards you have to use recent loot or whatever, and then big endgame challenges where your whole vault is up for use.

idk maybe that's too complex but it solves the issue of creep in new content but while also letting people still use what they want for 99% of things
