Agree, this decision is perplexing.... I thinks it is a good thing to be able to produce orbs with exotics that have no catalyst. But with this "solution" even fewer weapons will have that ability, so it just makes the issue worse. I was so disappointed to hear this, that I am rethinking wether to get the new expansion or not.... The only way I could live with this is if they: 1. Make it work for all weapons of all damage types with 1 mod 2. Have it fill the first slot, so it doesn't take away the Ammo Finder slot The thing that really makes this bad, is that I heard that our supers will no longer tick up. They will require kills, so that sounds like orbs will be more important than ever. I don't understand how people who can obviously make a great game can come up with such a bad idea The ability to change element on armor though is great
