I can't be the only one who thinks getting a perfect roll or constantly trying to was one of the main aspects of the original and had us coming back for more? Now I see everything for what it really is.. reskinned and recolored with no real differences.
Levelling my guns to get a feel for them and unlocking the perks that felt signifcant were a huge part of the experience and without that it feels very empty.. It's kind of sad and since it is this way I don't see any 'U turn' coming any time soon on that route.
Edit: I'm definitely leaning more towards the randomization of perks or the addition of a way to customize the perks, and not the levelling of guns itself. It was something I felt needed brought up in relation to guns in the original.

The problem, in my opinion, isn't the lack of random/god rolls. It is the absolute lack of weapon options. If they made static rolls, then we needed diablo size loot numbers. Hundreds upon hundreds of different weapons. Really up the number of guns in the RNG pool, so when you finally get that gun you wanted, it feels special. To the point you rarely ever encounter it in PvP. Now, we just get the same weapons over and over.
