I proposed a number of alternatives after the reveal and one prominent poster shat all over my suggestions in a major tizzy. After the player bases response to the new system, those suggestions are starting to look smart. However, because Bungie and the BDF insisted that the new weapon system was going to be fun and would work, they are now two months behind in making any kind of adjustments, so the earliest you would see any kind of changes to this system would be the first DLC, and that is likely just going to be a content drop a la TDB or HoW. The most LIKELY time you would see any major changes like this would be the third DLC, which if they follow D1 format, will be more like TTK and can bring major changes. However, that is only IF they are inclined to make changes. I doubt they are, as this weapon system is a cornerstone of their PVP-First ethos. They change this, and it would cause the house of cards to fall down around their competitive PVP plans.

If it makes you feel any better, I consistently say this idea is ridiculous lol
