Make the gunsmith cheaper than 100 materials
I've spent 18,000 gunsmith materials trying to get an antiope that is a god roll, or at least just decent. So far with no luck. I've gotten 3 antiopes all together and 4 exotics from banshee. It would be nice (since the gunsmith is such a big deal in shadowkeep) that the cost to rank up was taken down to maybe 50. Anyone agree?
[spoiler] There are many ways to approach this issue but the cost is simply too much when there are so many weapons. Below are some ways to maybe fix it besides outright needing the cost.
1. Or, to incentivize people playing activities they don't want to, there could be a discount system. If you complete the milestone for the week per specific activity then the corresponding vendor could give a discount.
2. Or every package turned in makes the next one cheaper. Leaving the tower resets the discount.
3. Remove all year 1 (static rolled) weapons from the loot pool.
4. Allow us to choose the weapons we want just like the menagerie/ada-1/D1 banshee. Even if it was just once per week like d1. Eventually I will get my god roll. It isn't guaranteed by rng. The system in d1 did this quite nicely. This would mean that no weapons would have to be removed from the loot pool since we can choose our rewards. More could actually be added.
5. Allow us to buy gunsmith materials from a vendor
Of course there are many ways to change it, but these are just some ways.[/spoiler]
Thanks to all that supported this.

That’s approximately 30 + 24 on a good day. So 2 days for a Gunsmith rank-up and 200 for 10,000 mats. 32 weapons in the loot pool with even chances of it being any of them + the additional 1 worth of exotic weapon chance. That means you have a 1/33 chance to get the weapon you want per rank up. That means you should get the weapon you want roughly every 3300 mats. This means once every 66 days. Combine that with the tons of perks perks on weapons and it becomes less and less likely that you’ll get he weapon you want with the roll you want without serious grinding. If you want mats fast, grind the strikes playlist or blind well as they have good blue drop rates and have a decent chance to earn legendaries for the amount of time they are. An easy way Bungie can help is to remove world drop weapons from the Gunsmith pool. That would remove 12 slots and drastically increase the chances of getting a Gunsmith Weapon.
