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 wouldn't mind if they implemented more specific weapon mods, ones that that affect stability and other base stats, or provide more interesting perks like outlaw or dragonfly. It would be tricky to balance, because obviously certain weapon types shouldn't have certain perks. If they did do this, it would add a larger rng factor (because mod drops are fairly random right now). More specific weapon mods would allow for a more customized playstyle, which I'm sure everyone would appreciate.
