I saw no reason to restrict elements like they did back when Forsaken launched. The change made no sense to me, and when I see a lot of a certain weapon type with the same frame having the same element now, I feel that my line of thinking is justified in that regard. There have been times a couple of years ago where I've felt very restricted on finding certain kinds of weapons. Most of the time I came up with something, the thought also ended with "but you have to do a raid to see if it drops". But it really depended on how specific of a weapon I was looking for. Sometimes it still seems that way to me and that depends on loot and their sources. Did you know that there is no random-roll legendary Void glaive in the game at all? You can craft one and then you can also buy one with a static roll. To a lesser extent, there are 4 Adept Adaptive Frame hand cannons that exist in the game and they are comprised of 2 Kinetic and 2 Void hand cannons. But as for crafting weapons specifically, if we were allowed to change the elements of weapons, that may conflict with the current circumstances of subclass verb weapon traits, at least from a view-point standard. I don't think the element system is going to be changing anytime soon. But maybe I'm just not seeing it right. That might require me to think a bit more.
