You guys do know that Bungie Nerfs/buffs weapons in order to bring up "timed play"... This thread means nothing to bungie, they will have you all chasing weapons in the order they want, this is a marketing strategy & it works, right now AR users are dumping their ARs & putting more "timed play" into the game by either upgrading or acquiring & upgrading a pulse Rifle. This forces players to put extra hours into their game. Fact, if they didnt Nerf ARs then those AR players would have no reason to switch to a pulse rifle.
