Genesis Weapons are the best thing added to Warframe in years and needs to be continued.

For a long time one of my biggest complaints about Warframe is how many weapons in this game are just left to sit and gather dust being nearly unviable in any difficult content. They attempted to add Riven mods to the game to attempt to fix this problem, and it 'sort of' did, but it never felt right that if i want a BAD weapon to be good, i have to get a very expensive mod, yet if i want an already good weapon to be better, i dont need an expensive riven mod. It always seemed sort of bad to me. Any weapon can be good with the right Riven, but even then there are some weapons that STILL struggle.
This game has a ton of weapons, and a lot of really really cool ones, and nothing bothers me more than to see all these cool weapons sitting around that you can't really use.
The genesis system really gives a lot of these older weapons a BIG kick to bring them up to today's standard of having both decent crit and status chance as well as a base damage boost.
I would REALLY like to see Genesis become available for even more of the older weapons so that Warframe can truely become a game where tons of weapons and gunstyles can exist in the meta.
There are all these really unique weapons that were really cool but for some reason DE designed them with no power and so nobody gets to really use them (Like the Panthera, really cool weapon, just too weak to use in higher content.) Basically everywhere you go, everyone is just using the same 10~ weapons. Kunai weapons got completely OBLITERATED even though at one point (long long time ago) they used to be the strongest secondary weapon type in the game. I don't think i have seen someone using Kunai weapons in like 6 years.

Unfortunately, knowing how DE usually does things, they probably will move on from the Genesis system like they do with everything else they add to the game and move on to "the next thing".
Too many systems in the game get added and then forgotten rather than really intertwined with the game properly. They added in archwing missions, then they got forgotten. They added an entire Parazon system just for a small subsection of the game and then left it there. They added Railjack and then left it in the past, etc. Necramech added, and while useful, doesn't really have a REASON to exist. It was just "the next cool thing" to put into the game.
I don't mind them adding things to the game but i wish they would continue to bring these systems forwards with updates rather than just letting each one become obsolete as the next system comes out.
Please do not abandon the evolving weapon system. It is a really good system to bring weapons back into the game.
