Here's a thought: (Destiny)

I don't play that game. I enjoy having options - and I'd be sad if those options were limited just because some people feel that those options keep them from trying other things.

I feel like removing elemental primaries would open up MORE options actually. Specifically, content would be balanced around kinetic primaries, so your choice of primary, special, and heavy would be no only more meaningful, but have more variety. If you are doing something very hard, and an elemental primary would help, there are fewer options because there are fewer of them, than if you were doing something hard, and there were only kinetic primaries, of which there are a lot.

As far as I know, there aren't any modifiers that increase the strength of kinetic primaries without nerfing other weapons (as Small Arms does). So fighting bosses with more than average health will take longer with a kinetic primary than with an elemental primary (I can't tell you the number of times I've had no ammo left except primary when fighting in long boss battles). This just drags out the fight - I'm not a huge fan.
