This is getting to a point in PvE and PvP that it's become clear and apparent that we need reforging back. Legendaries are lacking so much in utility and that's generally because we have no control over the perks we get. I've literally seen a Shortgaze, Eye of the Storm, Snapshot, Hot Swap 1K Yard Stare in PvP. I didn't even challenge that the entire game because that's simply terrifying. I've also noticed that only the Doctrine is viable in PvP and that's partly because we have no reforging to make our legendary primaries decent or at least a perk or scope/sight we like. It's all RNG and it's just not good for a competitive atmosphere.
Here's the thing, if we had reforging, and you rolled your sniper or shotgun the exact way you wanted it after spending the time and materials to do and you lose a gun fight then that's on you. But at this point, if someone got lucky and got a god tier roll, then who's to say you wouldn't have had a better chance with perks/scopes you can actually use that suit your playstyle? This is just my opinion, so I'm not saying that everyone would love to have it back. But if that ends up being the general consensus then it needs to come back immediately. I would feel more confident using a legendary primary if I could reforge my Eyasluna or Vanity or Dis-43, etc etc. I'd feel more confident in snipe encounters if I had the perks I liked and the scope that I enjoy using. Maybe someone has a rebuttal about why reforging is a bad thing and I'm completely open to listen to that. I'm just putting this out there because I haven't seen it talked about as much lately.

Reforging should not come back in its same form. It ruined crucible with everyone running around with the same weapon. Instead they just need to increase drop rates as they should have done with TTK but did not they actually reduced it. HOW had fantastic drop rates but got lumped in with reforging when they changed the game for taken king. Had they left drop rates as they were you would have significantly better chance of getting a good roll now. If the spring update puts drop rates back (oh and put crucible drops in with Iron Banner loot) I think people would be more satisfied with the loot than they are now.
