I don't see why there can't be some sort of ultra rare drop thing, maybe hard raid drop, that could be used like glass spindle to reroll your damage type on a weapon (vs armor stats).

Problem solved, no?

No. Because then, before long, many players would have that "ultra rare" drop which they will apply to their favorite primary weapon and then they will virtually cease to use any other weapon. We would be right back where we were with people using only one weapon the vast majority of their time.

The weapon sandbox "meta" right now is in the best place it has ever been since even the Alpha. There is a vast range of weapons that are viable in any given situation. You can actually be very competitive in the Crucible with any weapon type - something we have not been able to say since the Alpha. I am constantly trying new weapons in PvE because there are no Fatebringers/Vision of Confluences in year two. As much as I loved my six Fatebringers, I am so glad that there is a lack of dominant elemental primaries with ridiculous perk combinations. Even if it were just an "ultra rare" drop that allowed you to do that to one gun - that's all it would take to get us back to that stale meta before long.
