Your point about Elemental primaries is true, it does help make PvE a bit easier... although that was the POINT. :P They were always the most difficult weapons to acquire, and even though older Elemental Primaries are easier to go back and get on their own, now, Infusing them with CURRENT raid-level gear would still require the effort of playing the new raid, getting the new guns, and THEN infusing the old stuff, so it's not like it would make them any easier to acquire at endgame levels. But, Bungue probably realizes that, and they just don't care. XC
