Reforging needs to come back ASAP
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.

Yes, 100%. Reforging for both weapons and armor. And none of this asinine random rolling either. I want control over how my character plays and looks. I have almost a dozen arm pieces so i can have a reloader perk for all the weapon types i use, plus depending on the build im going for i need either int/str or int/dis. And gods forbid i should ever get the correct perks/stats on a piece of gear i actually like the looks of. as for weapon, i'll get something that might be interesting but it has only one good perk on it.. so i throw it in my vault. then i get another one with maybe 2 passable perks.. ok, i guess ill have to compare them later to see which one is better.. flash forward i have 5 copies of a gun waiting for me to decide which is the least terrible. Yes, what a meaningful and skill based system of progression you have here. As far as Bungie's argument that they dont want people to just pick the best perks, i have 2 counter arguments. First, the person with an RNG-gated god roll only has "the best" because everyone else is stuck with garbage. Why do you want a handful of people to have strickly better guns than the majority? How is that "fun"? Besides, if you end up with everyone picking the exact same perks that says more about your inability to design meaningful choices than anything else. Second, I dont believe that is even the real reason. I feel there is just so little content Bungie feels compelled to stretch it out as far as possible. No doubt they have stats on how many times people run strikes for a gun etc and if the first time a grasp of malok dropped that was the last time they had to run it.. well, shit. bungie cant have that or they'd have to start creating more content. Despite what you might think Bungie many of us are aware of your ridiculous treadmill design philosophy but tolerate the many faults of the game because the stuff hat is good is genuinely good. But eventually enough resentment will build up and it just isnt worth it. There are games i can play that have zero grind and the up time on the fun is 100% so why am i wasting my time here? lastly, for anyone that doesnt like reforging, i know this will come as a huge shock but you can just not use it. there is no reason to ruin something for others just because you dont want to use it.
