This is al done to get another armour grind going with an extra mod slot. Most players already have good stat armour so they don't have to grind for new armour anymore. The couple of exotics without a masterwork is just the excuse for this real reason. Trying to package this nerf as a positive for the players. On top of that not all weapons will be creating orbs anymore. Just a certain element. Beter get back in the grasp of avarice for mediocre stat armour but with that extra slot.
