This is a dangerous thing to say. Taking Thunder as an example since there's a Thunder pride weapon on the table right now; players with good/complete grids will likely have several SR weapons at the moment. The Disaster assault weapon has 1566 attack, the pride gun has 2328. A pride weapon beats an SR assault weapon with around 400 higher attack even at 100% HP. The pride gun is significantly better than the disaster weapon even at full health.

Now you might think that it's a waste to level/skill up a new weapon when you already have a maxed grid, when you will be replacing it for SSR assault/double skill later. It takes a lot of gem gacha rolls and SR fodder and time to max a new weapon, and you may want to put those resources into other elements or maybe just be lazy because its a small gain. That's fine! I have no arguments about ignoring pride weapons because you plan on replacing them later.

The problem is not everyone will want to replace them later; it's a good weapon, it gets final limit break, it's a gun which is an excellent weapon type for Thunder. A player might read your post and think that a second copy of the gun is useless, and then use the 5 copies from the current event as fodder, only to realise later that he actually could have used it. The same is also true for other element pride weapons.
