[quote]Ok so here's my idea, what if instead of grinding VoG/CE for that one weapon over and over why not offer us the option to [b]create out own weapons!?[/b] I'm talkin fully customizable, for example: The gunsmith would sell the weapon frame, and you could chose whatever style you wanted for whatever gun, it would cost a hefty amount of glimmer an a decent amount of weapons parts, it would start as an common and as you upgrade it, it will progress all the way up to exotic. You would also be able to purchase damage modifiers for it (solar/arc/void) for a fair price (probably a lot of glimmer and some mats) and when new DLC comes out increasing the max damage limit you could upgrade it to that level. Then as you gain experience with the gun, instead of unlocking predetermined perks [b]you could purchase the perks you want to have on your gun[/b] so that instead of having to decide which gun has more favourable perks you can create your own monstrosity. I think this will help a lot because people always try to find the gun with the best perks, and them everyone wants it, xur sells it, then people whine and complain. This way no 2 custom guns will be the same an instead of relying on RNG for good drops you'll earn the ability to create something better. And of course once you've upgraded it all the way you would be allowed to add a custom shader (seriously, this needs to be a thing) to the gun, you can choose the style and colours for your shader Obviously certain perks would be more expensive than others so that you couldn't just make a gjallahorn with whatever you have lying around. And once it's been maxed out, you would be able to [b]RENAME[/b] your new baby, perhaps even putting in a category above exotic (mythic). I think this would really give the game a nudge in the right direction, being able to have full control of the customization process is what will make people keep playing this game. Honestly I would spend more time (and have a lot more fun) making my own guns than running tired content again and again for some sub par legendary. Please, everyone. Let me know what you think of this idea in the comments below, good or bad. I know bungie employees will read this an if it stays near the top of the page they will pay attention[/quote] I had the same idea awhile back. You could pick a frame, a damage type, and perks. You would set the frame on the table. The gunsmith would pick it up and put it in one of the machines behind him (which I never see him use btw). The machine would make some lights and noises and out would pop your brand new gun. What's the point of having a gunsmith that doesn't smith guns? It would start as common and end exotic by completing a series of challenges.
