It's annoying that we have to have specific elements (Void, Arc, Solar) for certain mods. Some Exotics have no place in certain builds now because of it.
Armor 2.0 was supposed to enable us to have more customization options but with the combo restrictions and the insane cost of materials (and especially glimmer) needed, creating a build just isn't fun. It's a chore.
Funnily enough, with the increased number of options and the ability to make very specific builds ( or at least attempt to), I've put less time into builds now than I ever have.
Some of the restrictions seem like they exist just for the sake of having restrictions.

Bungie just doesn't get it. They can't create an armor system that works; a system with proper synergy. One where every part of the system is there to serve a real purpose. They always have to add fluff. Artificial complexity through the use of over designing. They have neat elements to each system they come up with but instead of keeping things simple they take it too far and add some stupid restrictions on the system that just ruins it or they try to use too many different ideas to build a system which just derails the whole idea of improvement.
