The forum are in a state of chaos at the moment and this is not to argue about my opinion on upgrading exotics. But one thing I thought that was strange is waiting for Xur to do that. I think it's fine that Xur gives exotic shards but why not give the upgrading job to the Gunsmith? The poor guy looks so lonely and he probably feels bad that the closest contact he gets with people is saying his various quotes out of context to a bunch of space warriors trying to climb a tree. The Gunsmith has a permanent place in the tower and he should be used for something other than ammo synthesis. Who agrees?
Edit: wow the response to this topic is amazing! I never expected this! The inly thing that'd make this better is if Deej showed up to tell us that our voices have been heard and Banshee can get enough glimmer to support himself this holiday season! :)
Another Edit: If you bump you should use #bumpforbanshee. Let's see if that starts trending.
Prince Edit III: I have contacted Banshee and he appreciates all of the support. By the way Bungie if you want to know how I got his number you didn't hide it very well. Lots of people climb the tree, someone was bound to find it carved in one of those branches at some point.
The Forums Edit IV - A Bump of Hope: Highest Rated topic eh? My reign will be eternal! Also hi Mom! Look at me I'm being recognized in a small way!
The Fifth Editment - This topic has reached over 1000 likes! I have ascended to a higher state of existence! Bow in the glow of my eternal.....eternalness....*cough* Seriously though, thanks everyone for the support :)
Final Edit VI: Community Chronicles - I was unaware of user vegginut's topic about Banshee getting some more love and Deej has seen his topic and stated that he will "pass it on". This is great news! Hopefully soon Banshee will receive the attention he deserves!

maybe the gunsmith should try selling rare fusion rifles for people doing the pocket infinity bounty and he wont be so hated
-
#bumpforbanshee I agree with it ALL
-
I didn't even buy stuff off him when I was level 1-10 - you get enough drops to not bother. He used to be my go to ammo guy but times are changing.
-
Agreed. He's left out. All he's really good for is ammo and rare fusion rifles for those with the pocket infinity bounty. He deserves to be noticed. Gun customization sounds cool. And I think having him re-roll legendary weapons is a great idea. I think 5 motes per re-roll is a good trade
-
Wow, yeah that makes a painful amount of sense. He is the damn Gunsmith after all XD. Though what would you do for Exotic armor then? Maybe the Crucible guy could upgrade it, or you go to your Vanguard Captain.

Upgrade old legendaries if telling you

Bump for banshee

True facts! The gunsmith is worthless, selling commons, Psh, even if you use them for crucible (not a chance) he really only sells ammo... This is a great callout and needs to be addressed. Here are some of my ideas! 1. Make him a station for gun customization rather than purchase. Everyone gets guns from other vendors, but bring them to the smith to put emblems on them, change colors, and even buy different scopes/aimers. Also, add the rehashing for the random upgrade tree like they did for iron banner weapons! People could then be even more unique and proud of there characters - rolling with crazy awesome paint job weapons ;) 2. Turn the gunsmith into a weapons generator. You could bring materials and money and depending on what you mix in you could manually create weapons, name them and such. I've seen similar systems in other games, and the user built guns could even be put on sale to help the player earn glimmer! There could be some customization and control to the process, but also a little random to make it interesting... All depends on the materials and choices you make. (Obviously needs a ton of different options to make the possibilities almost endless) Anyways, the gunsmith is useless and needs to be changed. I don't think he was suppose to end up a common gun selling idiot when bungie first thought him up. Let me know what you think, Thanks

YES! #bumpforbanshee
-
I feel bad for him. I like the guy but he sells nothing better than the occasional rare. If he didn't even sell the synthesis's I wouldn't even go near him. He needs a greater purpose. (upgrading legendaries anyone?)

#bumpforbanshee Yeah! I second this movement. Give the weapon upgrades to banshee!! Forget about the agent of the 9!! That or let Xur keep his exotics and have banshee upgrade legendaries.

Make the gunsmith sell legendary weapon engrams for high amounts of Motes of Light or Glimmer or both.
-
As long as whatever he gives doesn't require me to grind some new random material I'm all for it. But by this logic the ship lady needs some love too. Only time she sees guardians is when they are passing her to get to fwc.

I read this yesterday or maybe the day before and thought "meh,doesn't bother me".Then today I was playing and building my vanguard marks and level and thought "dang it, what's Xur going to sell? What can I upgrade?" This is stoping me from using my commendations and marks! Lol

Edited by Defaced_Reality: 12/10/2014 10:16:35 PM#bumpforbanshee Agreed, the gunsmith would be perfect for just about anything other than a designated ammo salesman... Can anyone tell me where XUR is/will be this weekend? I haven't been able to find him since the DLC launched, and to be perfectly honest I haven't been able to find a good resource on when and where he is going to show up since I got the game. I'm a level 29 hunter, but I've only visited XUR once...
