Bungie first off i would love to say that the gear design in game ha been so cool that it leads me to question one aspect of the decision that was placed on what equipment could be infused. I just started a hunter and decided to go straight to crucible with my lucky hand made starter scarf. After countless victories and struggles i came a cross rare armor set that i just couldn't part with, due to the amazing aesthetic look and lore that it was bonded to. I will post a picture of it soon but the armor set
Takanome 1.1 is by far my favorite. I feel the only other way to keep moving forward is to really allow the customization as you have promised at conferences by allowing the infusion ability on all equipment. Because it shouldn't be the game that decides how we have to look to be effective. And while you did remedy the gamer's plea of looking the same with infusion, that was only the start. As limiting infusion to only legendary and exotic gear it still doesn't allow for that many combinations to be truly unique with the amount of people that play this game. So to extend the infusion to all gear (even the starter gear for players that just maybe wanna not be so serious about it) can have a 1 in 10,000 chance of not running into the same style that some one else has. Plus it makes gear hunting more fun knowing that it will eventually be just as useful. Pushing people to legendary gear just because its supposed to be better in turn does not mean they look better. While legendary could have the better stats and abilities it should be up to the player to whether attain it or not. So please allow me to keep my hand made scarf and Takanome 1.1 armor set by making infusion available to all!
