Xur carrying elemental damages upgrades

I thought it would be interesting if Xur carried elemental upgrades for all weapons because let's face it this also needs to be available for the casual gamer as well. So that you can either add it to your weapon or have multiple elemental damages like the murmur. Let me know what you think.

  • I don't think this would be a good idea. What motivation would the player have to work/play for then? End game gear would become obsolete since everyone's weaponry would equalize entirely too soon. Players would use the same 3 favored weapons, and never leave their comfort zones to get used to using weapons they're not familiar with. Enemies in PvE would drop like flies, there would be absolutely no challenge. If people already complain about the lack of content in the game, then implementing something like this would even further discourage people from exploring the entirety of the Destiny universe. The player base would drop drastically because nothing would hold their attention. There would be no endgame. I hate to say this so bluntly, but this post relates to the new societal mentality that everybody deserves a participation ribbon. It also reflects the notion that everybody wants instant gratification without expending effort. Bungie has already has already dramatically cut out all of the "grinding" that was at one time absolutely necessary to progress in this game when it first released. I've played Destiny since its 3rd week while maintaining a full time job and a social life outside of the Xbox. I am a casual player. But this has become a hobby for me that I've thoroughly enjoyed. It's taken me a very long time to obtain some of the top tier weapons and armor that exist, but that RNG system is exactly what keeps me coming back every week for more chances at the things I desire. I still need that Fatebringer! But what would be the point of playing for the Fatebringer if I can just throw Arc damage on my Timur's Lash?
