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.

Some advantages and disadvantages about gun rolls in D2... Pros: No more grinding for the same weapon with the rolls you wanted. The Swarm... *shudders* No more doing stuff to unlock the weapon perks. I admit that was kinda fun back then. Cons: Slightly takes away the excitement of getting guns. I dunno... Maybe reduces the motivation of looting? I honestly can't think anymore. I don't mind the static rolls too much.
