But if the point of it is just the rewards (Destiny)

It feels inherently less competitive and silly. And considering that vanilla Crucible still allows you to use whatever skill tree enhancements you have on your gear or your guardian it's already weirdly imbalanced.

There are some amazing abilities that weapons can have that greatly benefit crucible.

For instance, I have an auto rifle which completely maintains its stability when you are being shot. I have a pulse rifle which if you empty the clip, reloads nearly instantly. I have to train myself not to reload, because in a firefight having the quick reload is very very helpful. Your cooldown reduction for your melee ability, super, and grenades also carries over.

But the kicker, is now you have to grind enemy kills to activate those abilities on a weapon you get before you take it into the crucible. It just wastes time and is stupid.
