Attempting to obtain feedback from the community on reinstating the ability to re-forge (re-roll) weapons at the Gun Smith.
In my opinion, reforging weapons at the gun smith, for even 15 legendary marks and some materials, would not be game-breaking.
There are numerous benefits and advantages to reinstating this option, for which in my opinion, exceed the costs and disadvantages of reinstating it.
Edit #1: I appreciate all of the comments and participation.
It is obviously completely my opinion to reinstate reforging, but I believe it is at least a topic which should be discussed by the player base.
I am fairly certain the community will generally be divided on almost ever topic related to Destiny, but I think there are opportunities for consensus.
I am seeing a lot of thoughtful comments that support reinstating the ability to reforge weapons, but I have not seen a significant number of valid reasons for it not to be reinstated.
Edit #2:
I just checked my phone at work and we are trending.
I do not post often on the forums, but it is satisying to read some of the discussions taking place within the post.
I appreciate everyone's participation and comments to the poll!
Edit #3:
I just got home from work and saw we moved up closer to the top on the trending list, and there are some nice discussions taking place within the post.
The activity is bound to slow down sometime with Trials and other activities in Destiny, but we can still hold out hope for those at work, school, or away from the console to respond!
Edit #4:
We are almost to the top and still trending!
It is rewarding to read and review all of the high-quality posts and comments from members of this great community!
I sincerely appreciate everyone taking the time to participate and comment on the post!

Added this edit to highlight one of the most well-written comments (replies) within this post.
The comment is by MenkusKhan, from yesterday, December 9. It has been "bumped" several times, so it is not far from the top at this point.
The player's comment is thoughtful, well-written, and contains a number of valid reasons for the reinstatement of reforging. I can always quote it within an edit if anyone has trouble viewing it.
I sincerely appreciate MenkusKhan's time and effort he took to comment, as well as anyone else who took the time to comment, regardless of what your opinion is on this topic.
Edit #5:
So apparently someone illegally accessed my PSN account and sent an unauthorized mass message from my account with derogatory language in it.
It is disappointing and pathetic that someone would go to such effort considering this is a video game and people are just discussing a topic.
I apologize if any of you received such the message.
As much as I'd like a max range Matador, no.
If everyone has the best rolls on a weapon, that'd mean that [i]no one[/i] would.

Let's say you had an Xbox Elite controller that you bought with your own money, which meant that you had an advantage over others that just had a stock controller.
Let's say that Microsoft gave a promo that would allow everyone to get an Elites for free.
Your advantage would be lost because now [i]everyone[/i] has what you had, so you're advantage over others is gone.
Remember, this is just my feeling of this. This is not Bungie's opinion.
