Think about this. I do not see anyone complaining about being overpowered when they used their no longer discontinued weapon.
Now, my question is: How do you derive value from a piece of equipment? Rarity or practical usage? The weapon was useful to you, I guarantee that. It boosted your stats, made elite easier, and made you a force to be reckoned with in PvP.
Players who currently own the weapons have enjoyed dominance for a while. Yes, your weapon's market value will drop, but it's inevitable.
