If bungie really want make orb generation more easy for new players, why not just make orb generation a default feature on weapon multi kills! No need for masterwork, not need for another stupid and unnecessary mod!
You get a multikill with your weapon, you get an orb, simple!

It should stay as a masterwork bonus and NOTHING else. The generation of orbs is traditionally something that only supers were supposed to do. As such, if you want to do it with a regular weapon, there is absolutely no justifiable reason that you shouldn't have to put the time and effort into masterworking it. That being said, orbs is also what makes masterworks important in pve, because the stat boost is almost always only useful in pvp where gunfights are much more skill based. So if they go through with this horrible idea they better have something up their sleeve to make masterworks important again.
