I feel you bro, this thread ain't dumb (although, holy shit you put a lot into it!) I see some problems really killing PvE experiences, while crucible is rapidly approaching a "balance" (I jynxed it; just wait.) It's less bullshit than ever before (lag aside) but I really can't think of any good reason for elemental primaries being removed. The "elements" don't even have special traits, they just do more damage to certain shields. A lot of weapons from vanilla (dat Grim Citizen doe) were great, but I guess it was just too easy to pick a favorite. Honestly, I enjoyed it..but c'est la vie.
