What about E-tech guns, are they considered common?
Maybe this page should be deleted(or renamed), since common would logically refer to the weapons rarity and not "everything but legends and uniques", so it's kinda confusing. Maybe something along the lines of "generated" would serve the purpose without confusion.

- In-game (and in most games) common refers to the white-level rarity, but this wiki has its own peculiar definition which (from what I can tell) it just made up. Additionally, it sometimes switches between the actual definition and this peculiar definition rather arbitrarily (e.g. in weapon infobox, and on this page). I see you made an effort to clarify this but your edit was reverted without explanation. This wiki seems to have a habit of coming up with its own terminology (see aftermarket). I'd make more of an effort on this but I'm afraid of being reverted so I'll simply make a note of it here. Adrian Malacoda (talk) 17:09, October 22, 2019 (UTC)
- On the french page, we have simply defined "Common" as non-unique — regardless of the rarity.
- About E-tech objects, it's only a matter of technology imo — as the name says it. E-Tech can be unique or common, and can be purple (appearing as magenta), legendary (ex: Longbow), effervescent (ex: Unicornsplosion) seraph (ex: Omen) or pearl (ex: Wanderlust).

- Edit I recently explained my point of view to streamer Kai_TW and some viewers. They consider E-tech (magenta) is a rarity in itself as E-tech items are way rarer than purple items. Then higher rarity e-techs have e-tech parts (always the barrel if i'm correct). For example, the Longbow is a legendary e-tech sniper (or a legendary sniper with an e-tech barrel). In one word : magenta is e-tech rarity. Muchos (talk) 13:24, August 9, 2020 (UTC)
- Edit 2 Looting a magenta item triggers the "Purple Reign" challenge. Muchos (talk) 07:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
