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.

I dont feel the mats are an issue, I play casually, I dont raid and Im able to amass pretty easily materials. But as for mods being attuned to certain elements I agree with you 100% it sure kills the armor customization, you have to pray that the mods drops and have to be the right element for the armor that you are wearing. Hope they remove such restriction and make the mod hunting more rewarding in general.
