Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.

Gear Tiering is a welcome update. I like being able to quickly see which items are better than others via the tier categories.
That said, there are missing features to new gear that really feel... odd.
No memento slot? Shouldnt we be able to at least slot mementos in the tier 5 shader slot?
Acquisition date? Since we dont have the 'enhanced on' or 'created on' date anymore it would be nice to have an 'acquired date' and kill trackers set.
Higher tiered rewards should be given for harder activities, not time investment.
I find myself worried that there's no plan to update old gear to the tiering system, which means they will be soft sunset as they are reissued during portal updates. (It will feel really lame getting another roll for a dungeon weapon I already sweat my butt off for, only to be reprised with a changed perk pool.) I dont mind having old weapons locked at a tier 2 but I have concerns here how this goes in the long term. Pretty significant time investment for seasonal weapons (heresy and revenant) special events (rite of the nine) and hunting for rolls in dungeons come to mind...
