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.

I already have gear that works. I'm not going crazy trying to have the perfect build because I'll end up driving myself nuts; the cost is too expensive and I barely have enough materials to masterwork one piece of amor... nevermind a full set. I blame everyone who said cores weren't a problem, they weren't -- but now the system is just convoluted.
