It's annoying that we have to have specific elements (Void, Arc, Solar) for certain mods. Some Exotics have no place in certain builds now because of it.
Armor 2.0 was supposed to enable us to have more customization options but with the combo restrictions and the insane cost of materials (and especially glimmer) needed, creating a build just isn't fun. It's a chore.
Funnily enough, with the increased number of options and the ability to make very specific builds ( or at least attempt to), I've put less time into builds now than I ever have.
Some of the restrictions seem like they exist just for the sake of having restrictions.

Honestly, I like that Bungie made it so that we can choose our own mods to put on armor, but I haven't even messed with the new system. I wear my old Last Wish set for pretty much everything because it's got the perks I want (gotta level it up though) and I use my "new" Swordflight set for style.
