I wouldn't mind it so much if the modding system were more extensive. It's not so bad for armor, but when it comes to weapons of you want to improve any stats you need to sacrifice the additional 5 power. Why can't we have purple weapon mods that also give us additional reload speed, stability, handling ect. Seems like they could take out two birds with one stone by adding more intriguing mods along with a new activity or two that we could use to grind for them. Hey those adventures are pretty cool, why don't we add some more of those at higher difficulties and throw those new improved mods in the loot pool?
