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 hated the extra RNG from it and the resulting high variance in a weapons power. Would rather have fixed rolls than RNG. A game should be played and replayed because it is fun not because it creates a gambling addiction using RNG. As for weapon systems, removing the OP perks then letting you customize your gun at the gunsmith would be best. Leave builds up to preference.
