[quote]Because keeping elements locked creates a more diverse loot pool. Unless Bungie creates more weapon archetypes then there is a limit to how many unique weapons exist within the game: the number of archetypes × the number of damage types. Swarm of the Raven would've never been a popular item if Outrageous Fortune could just use void energy (as you say tho, tractor cannon no longer biases towards void). Why bother making/grinding for new energy SMGs if Recluse could just be swapped between arc/solar/void?[/quote] Limit certain guns to elements and allow others. Tractor cannon was nerfed recently as well so void isn’t the only strong element.

I'd argue that locking elements actually [i]restricts[/i] the loot pool by cutting down the variability of the weapons. Sure there'd be a chase to get meta guns in all elements, but if they base all their decisions on trying to break up metas, all they're going to do is harm everything but the meta. Leave the meta players to restricting themselves and embrace the possibility of having your favorite gun in the element you want.

Space is something I usually don't think about as I'm a meticulous vault cleaner. My guardians are Marie Kondo fans apparently... [spoiler]"This Service Revolver sparks joy! Masterwork it! This Edge Transit does not spark joy. Into the dismantle pile it goes!"[/spoiler]
