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.

This is the criticism that resonates with me the most. I did not grind for perfect rolls but I definitely liked the variety of looks each gun had and unlocking the guns slowly was a neat feature. Even though I knew that thousands of other players had the same gun with the same roll as me.....I rarely ran into anyone who did.....and that made the gear feel all the more unique and especially MY loot. I understand why Bungie did it (simplicity and balance and wider appeal) but I think its a negative change. I think if they make the mods better we can get there.
