On perks (Destiny)

Granted, having perks be tradeoffs would have been the right choice from the start, but they didn't do that. So you have to keep going with that, or else you get what we have now: HoW Legendaries that are moted immediately since they cannot match up to what we already have.

I'm glad you made that last point. I was about to say the same thing. I actually really like the idea of weapon "customizations" rather than "perks". I think the HoW modifiers with trade offs are a great way to offer choice while keeping things balanced. But as you say, this only works if all weapons across the entire game are handled consistently.
