Despite what I've read on some posts, for the most part, everyone will be using the same weapon. Sure, everyone currently grinds to seek out that perfect god rolled weapon, but, because of the infinite number of roll possibilities, very few are actually identical. Similar, yes, but not identical. Fast forward to D2. Like always, word will quickly get out on which weapons are the most effective. The difference is that without that level of RNG variety and customization, it will only happen sooner. A gun is what it is. No potential for greatness. No carrot to chase after. This change had one purpose in mind, and one purpose only... To eliminate god-rolled PVP weapons. While that may, on the surface, have a benefit or two, it comes with great costs... One of which was a main source of enjoyment when playing D1. You know that pinch of excitement you feel when you get a new weapon, and you quickly look to see what perks you got? Man, it's like a little mini-Christmas morning every time. Well kids, Santa is dead. Bungie killed him. Just my 2 cents.
