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.

I get the part about removing levelling up guns takes away some of the fun of D1 but honestly I think having two primary slots and not being able to infuse all primaries into all primaries is ruining it more than the RNG rolls. The least they could do it let you infuse all kinetics into kinetics, etc. I just want to infuse my shitty exotic pistol into an autorifle or submachine gun but nooooooooo
