Welcome to what every Borderlands player has had to deal with since Loot and Shoot became popular in the first place. It was no different in D1, as most guns even with good perksets were pretty damn terrible, cause you cant make every gun amazing in the first place. Otherwise there would be no balance or sense of rarity since that white gun at the start is just as good as that shiny exotic you picked up. Stop your complaining, or stop playing the game altogether. You can not have it both ways.
