Ther are a lot of different type of weapons and an endless level of perks and damage for each in this game. The devs obviously want us to use different weapons and not stick with what's comfortable to our play style all the time. I very rarely use auto rifles but instead prefer the scout rifles and now that bad juju is somewhat relevant in damage it may just be my weapon of choice (especially on my Lock). They are never going to get them "perfect" and make everyone happy. I have to admit I enjoy swapping up weapons from time to time though and playing with something new. So why not put weapons on a weekly buff. This week buff the auto rifles and op the pulse rifles, next weekly update, buff pulse and op scouts etc. still not the perfect fix but at least once a month your weapon of choice would be the best it could be and it would get people actively using different types of weapons and maybe just maybe slow down the "this weapon is too op, that weapon is too op crowd (ok probably not lol). Just my thoughts but I think I would enjoy using a different weapon every week knowing it was going to get the job done instead of day After day using my trusty scout rifle.
