So recently in Destiny, I kind of ran out of things to hunt for. Then one day, I was killed by a Scipio-E sniper rifle in the Crucible. I had never heard of it, so I inspected the user to be amazed at how incredible this sniper looked. The next day, I deleted my Titan and started a new one, transferring blue engrams I would stock up from my Hunter and Warlock to it so I could decrypt them into Vanilla-era blue weapons. When my Titan was around level 12, I finally got a Scipio-E. But also in the meantime, I dropped a ton of various blue weapons that look absolutely fantastic.
It's great using them in Crucible, but I think it would be fantastic to either add infusion to blue items, or add a system that allows us to upgrade them to Legendary and then infuse them, to truly maximize the amount of customization one can use. These weapons and armor still wouldn't be on the same level as most Legendaries, as they would still maintain the perks they had when blue, just allow them to be infused and used in end-game activities.
And this is primarily because, most blues look better than any of the Legendaries in this game. Here are just a ton of examples from my own personal collection:

Basically, I find myself using blues more often than Legendaries lately just for the variety. I know there are more blues that look fantastic that I don't have, like the Evergreen pulse or the Stalker BNGL scout.
I just wanna see more variety in this great game, and I know I'm not alone.
TL;DR
Blues should have a way to upgrade them so that they can be able to be used in places other than standard Crucible, bringing variety to the game and more customization.
TLTL;DR;DR
Pretty blues. Make Purple.
EDIT: I'm amazed at the reception this post has gained! Most people have called me silly for farming for these guns, but I'm glad to see so many others appreciate the cosmetics in this game. I'm gonna be editing as I go, adding more guns as I drop them, as the grind is still going strong.

I mean take a look at the first curse/ swords. You need to bring up their light level by infusing them and then once you get to a certain light level, the last node/ exotic mission is unlocked and it allows you to progress further. They could TOTALLY work this system into blues and essentially truly let us customize our favorite characters with our favorite armor/ weapons. Even with greens. Maybe you have to infuse a weapon that is the same type and one rarity higher in order to "ascend" the gun. That way the green weapons that the gunsmith sells wouldn't be a complete waste of space. The gun that you're leveling up could even inherit perks from the fuel you use, sort of like breeding in pokemon. This way you can really "create" your own weapons but you still have to make decisions about what guns you use for fuel and what guns you keep. For instance, I got a Treads Upon Stars but it has Guerrilla Fighter and Who's Next, which are perks that I don't value. I could choose to upgrade a Rare scout rifle into a Legendary by using the TUS, but then my Rare scout would have one of those aformentioned perks, and I would continue playing and grinding to get a scout rifle with better perks; at which point now I have to compare the two rifles and decide if it's worth it to keep infusing the Rare rifle or start using the Legendary. That's what would bring more players back with ROI: More options for guns/ armor to go along with the extra content. Just my two cents on the matter.

I recently restarted my Warlock and I love all the blue armors. They look amazing and I kicked butt in the crucible the other day with the green weapons I had. I agree, I would love to upgrade those to legendary if I had the chance.

They need to put in destiny's own transmogrification system. Make anything look how you want it to.

Bump. That warlock seraph gear I grounded for when destiny came out untili did VoG n I found out they weren't that good. That's my favorite warlock looking gear

Plz bungo. Dont let the dream die.

I think the conclusion bungie needs to draw from this is that they should get some of the artists for blue gear to do some high end vendor gear.

Bearbeitet von GToaststicks: 8/9/2016 2:48:34 AMI could not agree more!!!! I was actually going to make a post about this soon but it looks like you beat me to it. You should really move this to the feedback section if you want it to be seen though. I really hope bungie takes this into consideration.

I recently started using my Hieracon LR5 with Shortgaze, Quickdraw and Final Round for a change, and I actually prefer it to my LDR and 1kys at the moment!There is something really satisfying about getting kills with a unique weapon like a rare, and the fact mine has such a good roll makes shots easier to hit than with some of my other Quickdraw lacking snipers too

Echo 33 is one of my favorite primaries. Used it exclusively for a while when pulses were king!

They should actually fix the game first but this doesn't sound like a bad idea

Been saying this since the beginning! We need more diversity to feel like special snowflakes
