I think this is a huge misstep. Limiting choices to pve players for a pvp problem. - Elemental primaries were not a huge issue. They only helped with a very limited amount of enemies, shielded of the right element. No effect in pvp (currently), no added effect on all other enemies. If this is felt it needs to be corrected make different of the same race have more variety of shield elements for different enemy types. There, done. Elemental primaries are less effective and can be non-exotic and eliminates "energy weapons" which is pointless. - In pve, I dont want to have to pick between a sniper or rocket launcher. I want both! Or shotgun and the new grenade launcher! Shotguns and fusion rifles are going to be done in pve. Use will be way way down. - Keep the current system and just add special drops for individuals (same as proposed with power weapons) in pvp and /or move shotguns, snipers, fusion rifles back to special. Or even let me pick, elemental primary or kinetic sniper/shotgun in the energy slot. A shotgun or fusion rifle shouldnt take up my heavy slot, I want something that blows stuff up. A couple of alternative options that will make pve just as enjoyable as it is currently without limiting player choices.
