I feel like the old system being brought back would allow more build crafting options which I believe is the way you’re trying to go with destiny as a whole. Maybe make all exotics drop orbs regardless if they have a catalyst or not because they are exotic weapons after all. Just a thought.

I think they got rid of orbs because crafting and enhanced perks. I don't understand why normal, rng weapons can't though. They should because then it would create more of a choice between crafted weapons or dropped. For example, the vow adept weapons might be worth it if they created orbs in exchange for no enhanced perks. Or actually farming good rolls of seasonal weapons and not just crafting them as soon as possible.
