Not just easy, but effective. It works and gives reason to replay the game, not sure why people are against that. If we could change elements people would run recluse two times more than they already do, fun!

And why is that a problem if some people want to run the same gun til the sun burns out? Not everyone has the same idea of fun. Just a different element is the most boring way to create an illusion of diversity there is. Much rather see the potential for interesting rolls on weapons not seen before rather than “The same gun, but purple flavor!”

Because this game isn't JUST about you, it's about everyone and the game as a whole. There is a reason why we "balance" PvE. It's true that [i]some[/i] people don't care about challenge and would rather 1-shot every single boss in the entire game with no effort, no build, no skill or anything... but as studies and well, common sense has shown that those people get very bored very quickly. The majority of people are on a steady skill/challenge curve, where their skill, gear, equipment and knowledge is increasing or being matched by the rate of challenge the game provides. It is a fundamental lesson of game design and is why balancing a PvE game is extremely important. Having 3x recluse in all elements HURTS replayability, HURTS balance and makes the game less fun overall. Even if you don't conciously register that it does, subconciously you would feel that way. You know how a lot of the time devs say they know the game better than you? Its because usually they DO. They have the stats, the numbers, the evidence, the experience, the knowledge. They usually do know what you want more than you do.

Please direct me to where anyone said they want to one-shot everything. Same gun, different flavor is not a new gun. And I don’t know anyone who chases elements anymore after the Tractor changes It’s literally just freedom to let people use the things the think are fun more often. Whoa, huge problem right there

Seems like you've never played a 980 Master mode nightfall with matchgame? (or really anything with match game?). You DEFINITELY want to chase different elemental guns. [quote]Same gun, different flavor is not a new gun.[/quote] You literally just made a point against your own argument. Changing the element of a gun doesnt make it a new gun, its just boring and unbalanced. When you are looking for 3 different SMGs in each element, you're not looking for the exact same roll on each, you're looking for the 3 best rolls those smg's can get. Nothing will currently beat master of arms on recluse which is why it should stay void. 3 recluses is just plain stupid. You want to find 2 other good SMGs from 2 other activities with 2 different rolls. That adds replaybility, that adds build diversity, that adds balance, that adds fun.
