I can't be the only one who thinks getting a perfect roll or constantly trying to was one of the main aspects of the original and had us coming back for more? Now I see everything for what it really is.. reskinned and recolored with no real differences.
Levelling my guns to get a feel for them and unlocking the perks that felt signifcant were a huge part of the experience and without that it feels very empty.. It's kind of sad and since it is this way I don't see any 'U turn' coming any time soon on that route.
Edit: I'm definitely leaning more towards the randomization of perks or the addition of a way to customize the perks, and not the levelling of guns itself. It was something I felt needed brought up in relation to guns in the original.

Just stop, The random rolls was the biggest issue with D1. It rewarded playing the same activity too much to find a imago loop with Litc and Icarus, then go into a PVP activity and 2 shot people. There were so many balance issues. Bosses were sponges all over the place, mechanics were sometimes non existent, and the grind was super artificial if it was only for god roll weapons.
