It wouldn't be if pvp and pve were separate. And it is already done in game certain ghosts have perks that only effect pvp. Make the gun have perks that are only available for pvp, you can have whichever perk you want for pve but in pvp the guns are the same now you can balance and still give a desire to chase god roll. At least for pve They could just make each gun with specific rolls not really random but each gun could be different. They could still balance it because each roll is not rng it is controlled, but it is rng which roll you get. Just feels like dev team took easy way out to fix problems in d1.
