I know this post will go into the void cause I highly doubt Bungie reads any of this. If you get a rare -blam!- shiny weapon to drop it should always be adept. Double RNG on something already extremely rare makes no sense imo.

Welcome to the preview of the new tiered weapon system which is coming next expansion. This is going to be the new standard... 5 tiers of weapons, base, shiny, adept, adept shiny, then whatever tier 5 is. Its going to be so much fun, grind till you cant grind anymore. Weapon chase is what players want, and now they will have it. Maybe tier 5 is craftable? With a new system to unlock... I personally think that this just makes it much more confusing and irritating to deal with. When you finally get your shiny adept, and it has a bad roll, it totally feels worth it!
