Not really. Auto Rifles available from Pre Dark Below are [i]very[/i] low impact high RoF. Which is what probably most people are using. So its not that unexpected. Now I'm willing to bet if I go to Crucible use my old Shadow Price, I'll out gun Scout Rifles. But you have to remember Auto Rifles are Short to Mid Range. Its about picking your engagements, you can't gung ho with them anymore. If you want that go play Call of Duty.
