Yeah, they could literally just add an additional perk tree to a hand cannon similar to FB with good perks. Or one with a higher RoF or Impact. Or one similar to Murmur where you can change the weapons burns. Bungie just lacks the creativity to make things better. Id be more than happy to use new stuff if it was actually better than what I current have. I'm not happy to have it forced on me where I couldn't use my Timepiece because it does 365 when max damage is 500. If they made a weapon better than Timepiece but made timepiece 500 damage, I'd choose the new better weapon. Or maybe I'd feel nostalgic and use the Timepiece even if I had something better from time to time. Taking away that choice aspect also takes away from my enjoyment of the game seeing as it is ment to be an RPG where I try put myself in my characters shoes (or boots) and do what I would want to do if I was a futuristic space magician.
