I can't be the only one who thinks getting a perfect roll or constantly trying to was one of the main aspects of the original and had us coming back for more? Now I see everything for what it really is.. reskinned and recolored with no real differences.
Levelling my guns to get a feel for them and unlocking the perks that felt signifcant were a huge part of the experience and without that it feels very empty.. It's kind of sad and since it is this way I don't see any 'U turn' coming any time soon on that route.
Edit: I'm definitely leaning more towards the randomization of perks or the addition of a way to customize the perks, and not the levelling of guns itself. It was something I felt needed brought up in relation to guns in the original.

I don't have the time or desire to be farming for a perfect roll. This change is something I love about this game. D1 to me felt impossible because I don't have the time to be running raids for days or farming for one great roll. The way D2 is appeals to average players like myself. It may not appeal to people who are real hardcore, but such people are, I'm sure, in the minority. All these comaints will fizzle out once more content rolls out and gives players that are real serious about it something to do.
