Everyone will be running around with perfect rolls

Unfortunately, too many people are willing to 'no life' this game to get the weapons that they want with the ideal perks. Bungie doesn't want to bring reforging back because people will grind less.

It leads to less weapon variety and completely devalues the roll the weapon is dropped with.

When HoW dropped, I was a big fan of re-forging, just to realize two weeks later, that it made almost every loot drop boring as hell; when the base stats of the weapon where somewhat lower, you dismantled it and stuck with your old gun. Now, on the other hand, we have so many crappy TTK perks in the perk pool, that it's almost impossible to get a proper roll on any weapon ( man, how I hate Hip Fire on LMGs or this foresaken Last Man Standing BS), except for the gunsmith packages. Here's my suggestion: Allow the player to give Banshee a weapon for re-forging. The weapon will be taken from you until the next weekly reset and then you will have the choice of three different perk combinations, the same way as with weapon packages. If you like one of them, you can claim your gun back or you can choose to give it another try. The re-forging fee could be legendary marks or strange coins, so you would have to decide, what to spend them on.

Because people are selfish pricks and they got lucky -blam!-ing drops in RNG and don't want anyone else to have their weapon.

It makes all the guns the same

Felwinters lie Field choke Shot package Hammer forged Luck in the chamber Thats why

Because it reduces the grind. End of story.

It so bad, because 1. People either had enough resouces on hand----or could easily farm enough---to turn every weapon they wished to keep into one of the most powerful weapons in the game. 2. This is game-breaking in PVE because you then have to start designing content around this level of power. Or else people who have these weapons will make a mockery of it. By ending fights before they even begin. But if you do that, the fights get tediously---or impossibly----difficult for those players that don't have those weapons. 3. Its game breaking in PVP. Because those people who have those weapons have an palpable competitive advantage....and the whole PVP scene becomes one of trying to RE-CREATE those same God rolled weapons in order to be competitive. So what is a nice treat to one person (accidental God roll) becomes a new game mechanic. 4. Its game-breaking in both PVP and PVE....because people no longer get excited about loot drops. Because everything just becomes raw material for the weapon you wish to craft by throwing an endless succession of crafting materials at it. If you are going to have crafting in a loot based game, then it needs to basically be a means of TWEAKING weapons to suit an individual play style. Not a means of wholesale creation of God Guns. I think Ubisoft has the right idea. They'll be crafting system. But it will be expensive and timeconsuming to use. Rumor has it that crafting materials will be tiered. So you'll only be albe to craft that High-end (exotic) or Superior (Legendary) God gun after either taking apart several other weapons of similar quality.... ...or taking apart a SHITLOAD of other weapons of lesser quality. But in Destiny's current system, I would NOT allow reforging on the premesis....and would call the police if it showed up on my doorstep.

Reforging isn't a bad idea but it was far too accessible in HoW. That led to random drops not being exciting because you would just reforge them to God roll. This also rendered some very good PoE weapons and Trials weapons less exciting too.

Well when you get a gun you can automatically make it what you want. So to players that makes it really really easy for everyone to have God roles on their guns I guess

Reforging needs to comeback because of digusting drop rate of guns. BUT, reforging needs to be really expensive so everybody doesnt get god rolls on all their guns within a week

Everyone runs around with God rolls. That's why.

Because everyone just gets God rolls... It's fun for a while but did not take long for people to catch on that they just need to re-roll everything until they get exactly what they want.
