[quote]IMO, it was a shortcut instead of having to completely reinvent the wheel. Plus with the new weapon line from the three weapon brands, if you will, make for a pretty big selection. [/quote] Ah, but they already [i]did[/i] [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---09082015/en/News/News?aid=13474]reinvent it![/url] The 2.0 patch was implemented with the [i]express[/i] intent of balancing the entire gear pool; both Year 1 [i]and[/i] Year 2. And, even if you think the amount of gear in TTK is fine (which I don't, but that's fine), imagine how much bigger it [i]could've been![/i] They already went through the entire Year 1 weapon/perk sets and literally rebalanced them [i]one-by-one[/i], making them perform at the same level as Year 2; they put in all that work, yet they're [i]still[/i] limiting Year 1 to PvP, which is [i]asinine[/i]. Elementals aside, the entire gear pool is on completely equal footing, and there is [b]no[/b] reason why PvE players should be left out. And, as for Elementals; like I said, they were a FANTASTIC motivation to participate in the Endgame, and they [u]never[/u] [u]hurt[/u] [u]anyone[/u]. [quote]I felt too strong and nothing was challenging until PoE. Without the burns, it makes it more fun for me. [/quote] It might be more fun for [b]you[/b], but it's less fun for [b]me[/b]. I assume you can understand that? :P I understand that you want an actual challenge, and trust me, I agree; I almost never used Ghally for that exact reason. However, that was [b]my choice[/b], and it was completely independent of what anyone [i]else[/i] used; their choices didn't affect me, and my choices didn't affect [i]them[/i]. If you don't want to rely on Burn Primaries, you should have [i]every option[/i] to use other weapons; however, if I [i]do[/i] want to use them, I should have the same freedoms as you do, when it comes to what [i]I[/i] want to use! The gear system is primed to cater to both types of players, yet players like [i]me[/i] are the one's who get exclusively shit on, while players like you are fine. Doesn't that seem unnecessary to you, given that we could [u]both[/u] theoretically get out way?

Your reasoning is pretty cool. I have to admit. You do bring up some good points. If they had more primary weapon burns, I'd be using them. If they had a y2 Gjallarhorn, I'd be using that too. But since they are yet to come, I just reason that maybe we don't need them. Sorry my eloquent friend. I can't make any more promises than Deej, but maybe they'll bring them back. Maybe it was a great idea, then they read the data and thought they were too powerful to keep.
