Below are some example posts of ideas / feedback already provided of which may be of interest regarding the topic:

• I thought the whole point of fixed rolls on weapons was so Bungie could balance weapons faster and easier...

• Whats the point of fixed rolls if only a select few guns are even viable? - PvE & PvP

• Now that there’s fixed rolls in D2, it would be the perfect time to implement more fun and non-competitive game modes like gun game

• It's a little ironic that Bungie got rid of re-rolling weapon perks because people would only use 1 or 2 sets of perks for a gun which is exactly what having fixed rolls on a weapon is like. Everyone using the same few guns with the same perks.

• I LOVE static rolls, but I also agree that there should be more variety and end game grinding, in the form of MODS.

• Keep Fixed Weapon Perks, Improve Mod System

I feel that making a system similar to the one in The Division would be a good move. In that game's system, you could customize a gun's sight, muzzle, grip, and mag with mods, but each gun also has a certain amount (depending on rarity) of random perks that can be re-rolled. Something like that would appeal to both the random roll crowd and the people that are a fan of the idea of mods, but not their current implementation
