I liked the old way, but am hoping that this patch and the new DLC will provide more weapon options for those who avoid PvP. I'd be happy if they just randomized the upgrades on Vanguard weapons. I'd chuck my Shadow Price in a second for one with an ammo upgrade. It will be interesting to see how Faction gifts pan out after the patch. Having a better chance of weapons here could make up for the inability to use materials to get crucible marks. I also don't think that most people who avoid PvP spend much time worrying about what they are missing. Yeah, we miss out on some cool Exotic Weapons, but we either get lucky with a random find or spend some of those hard earned coins to get a prized exotic. I can be just as happy with a few exotics as someone with their vault overloading with exotics. Heck. I can only use one at a time anyway and the better purples are great for patrols and events. Getting different weapons isn't really about need. It is about occasionally finding or buying something new to try out.
