As the title states, what's the deal? Like, I would fully understand it if my Warlock was regularly wielding a greatsword because the single shoulder guard was an actual thing that knights would use as defense when wielding a 2-handed sword since they couldn't use a shield. But, um... it looks mega stupid when you have only one shoulder guard, your character is wearing a robe, AND THE OTHER ARM MYSTICALLY HAS CHAINMAIL HANGING OFF OF NOTHING BECAUSE YOU FORGOT A SHOULDER GUARD! Seriously, Bungie. Can we get some dude to go back in here and fix all these gloves that only give you one shoulder guard? It makes no legitimate sense and greatly deters me from wearing items that would otherwise look awesome.

Actually, it makes sense if it's the left shoulder that has the armor, since it'd be your forward arm. The Right shoulder being unarmored is presumably to aid in weapon use, so that the gun rests directly on the arm, rather than a bulky pauldron.
