We would like primary elementals. Bungie doesn't want us to be limited to a small number of guns to use, and want us to use our specials and heavies.
What they need is to make artifacts that give your primary a chance to change to a specific element each PvE spawn. If u die you have a chance to lose it or get it back.
That way we would want to collect at least 3 artifacts per character and artifacts would seem useful. We get our chance of elementals. We could use any primary we want. And they get their chance of making us use our specials and heavies for taking down sheilds. Win f'ing win. Could even make them exotic artifacts and have a cool story quest to get them. Anyone agree?

This brought to mind yet another idea: A consumable or doodad from Xur, call it Elemental Modulator, which you consume to make your primary match the elemental type of your [i]currently selected[/i] subclass. The burn lasts as long as you have the subclass active; it expires when you switch subclasses. If you're the kind of person who runs pretty much Subclass X, then your primary will always have that burn. If you change it up, you need to use another Elemental Modulator to reattune your gun.
