Personally, I don't see why not as long as there are multiple options. I thought the raid weapons from year 1 were super useful, and then as trials weapons got burns it gave us more options to play with. Even though I understand that they don't want non-elemental primaries to feel useless, I just wish that Zhalo wasn't the only useful primary if burns are active.
I think it would be cool if there was a way to infuse a primary so that it becomes elemental. That would be awesome if we had to raid (or something) to get an item that we could then use to imbue our primaries with arc burn or whatever.
Thoughts?
*edit* thanks for all the likes. I really hope bungie gets to see this and at least consider it. I definitely think they should bring it back.

No idea. It depends entirely how they go about the whole elemental system gain. Like making them used for more than just shields or to be used during an elemental burn modifier, and adding more elements. Who knows, maybe they'll make it in D2 so that elemental damage is even rarer, like specific to Fusion Rifles (kind of like guns at the start of Destiny 1) Maybe they'll make it so all guns have elements. Maybe it'll just be exotics. Who knows.
