yeah man your a asshole doing a mass mail on PSN to everyone who disagreed

The main argument I'm seeing here against reforging is that it would kill weapon diversity. This is paired with the assumption that reforging was cheap back in the day and a snide "just look at year one." The thing is, though, year one had [i]massive[/i] diversity within legendary weapons. Shortly after the pulse rifle meta, Destiny saw a period in which you could really use almost any weapon archetype and do well. Pulse rifles had the Hopscotch Pilgrim and 55A-Allfate, hand cannons had the Fulcrum, Timur's Lash, Red Hand, Lord High Fixer, I'll Will, scouts had the Badger CCL, One/One Synthesete, and Deadshot Luna, and auto rifles had the Vanquisher VIII, Shadow Price, even shotguns had Felwinter's, Party Crasher, Matador, and Two to the Morgue, and snipers had multiple options from high impact to high rate of fire. Reforging didn't decrease weapon variety, it [i]increased[/i] it. Before HoW, people used mostly raid weapons and exotics for crucible because raids were the only way to guarantee that you would get a legendary with a good roll. With the advent of reforging, regular legendary weapons really took the stage for the first time. It was no longer about how easy it was to get a certain weapon with a good roll, it was how well that weapon [i]felt[/i], since [i]every[/i] archetype had perks that could make it do better depending on how you like to play. Yes, there were certain builds for weapons that people liked more than others, but that's no different from the situation we have now. The reason you see Matador and Clever Dragon so much right now is because those are the two easiest weapons to get that fit the meta and have good perks. In our current system, if I like FWC's The Waltz more than I like Clever Dragon, there's nothing much that I can do about it because the chances of getting a well rolled Waltz from FWC rank ups is extremely slim, whereas I could just buy a well rolled Clever Dragon from Efrideet. The Waltz, the weapon I would rather be using, is then never obtained because I have the next best thing. Besides the fact, reforging sparked a whole new sense of creativity in the community. Legendary hand cannons, while viable in the meta, didn't really shine until somebody experimented with the Fulcrum and found that LITC worked very well on it coupled with perks that reduced magazine size, and suddenly hand cannons were seen a lot more, since other hand cannons were also candidates for the "mini-hawkmoon" roll. A similar thing happened with the Hopscotch Pilgrim, which remained a decently rare gun until the end of HoW. To those arguing that reforging would give everyone God rolls on everything, you clearly don't remember the weapon part drought of late House of Wolves. Reforging was never extremely cheap considering how many times you would have to reforge something in order to get what you want. I remember spending over 50 motes of light and hundreds upon hundreds of weapon parts in order to get a good roll for just one gun. With materials being much easier to come by now, the cost would have to be increased; I like the idea of using Legendary Marks as a reforging material. Reforging didn't reduce the grind, it increased it and made it feel much more rewarding. The people who played the game more and collected more materials had better rolls on some, not all, of their weapons, and that's how it should be. Not only that, the ability to reforge weapons added a huge amount of game time to House of Wolves, and I believe it's one of the reasons people look back at House of Wolves so fondly. After reforging one weapon to the point where it worked just how you wanted it, you could move on to the next one and build a whole collection of your favorite weapons. Now people tend to get the easiest thing to get with the best roll for their effort and are done with it. Perhaps the strongest point for bringing back reforging, though, is that it led to a sense of accomplishment and ownership of each weapon in a player's arsenal. Even now, when I break out my Fulcrum in the occasional PVP match, I can't help but smile knowing that everything about that gun is [i] mine[/i]; I leveled up FWC to buy the frame, I spent hours collecting the materials for it, and, after months of reforging it and keeping it ready just in case, finally got my perfect roll, leveled it up to unlock the nodes, and fought Skolas in order to ascend it to the highest light level it could be. [i] That[/i] is what ownership feels like, not just finding it off of the ground or in a chest. I still want a high rate of fire scout with full auto and explosive rounds.

why not I guess let everyone have 2 tap handcannons and god roll matadors see how acid the meta becomes since everyone already has high caliber round clever dragons

I would rather have re-forging for gear. Weapon drops, for me at least, drop with decent rolls more then half the time. I finally got the The Distant Star and it drop with brace frame, explosive rounds and range finder. Do I get stinkers drops on weapons, yes, but it seems my gear drop percentage (Intellect, Strenght, Discipline) sucks more than weapons.

This comment section hurts to read it's like WW3 in here everyone need to take a chill pill and let people voice there opinions without being eaten alive by a pack of wolves

No. You say there are numerous benefits and advantages to reinstate this option. That's the problem right there, all it is beneficial and advantageous. Why doesn't anyone want to grind for their shit anymore and just have everything handed to them!?

So, you just massed messaged people on psn and used derogatory slang at them for saying they support "reforging".

At this point in the game why not? Player base is dwindling, everyone has a god roll matador and clever dragon anyway so I don't see why not?

they should totally bring back the worst thing in destiny

AND let him do armor too!

Why not reforge armor, too?

Just put it at a high cost. Maybe about 10,000 glimmer and 25 legendary marks.
