I saw this coming from 2 weeks ago. If they nerf shotguns, then everyone will complain about the [i]next[/i] most powerful weapon. This is why Bungie tries to balance things out. But god forbid, they over-nerf something. Then people scream and cry about x item being nerfed for the next 3 months. I've used shotguns, thorn, Suros and every other "OP" weapon out there. I still sucked, so guess what, weapons are a [i]skill multiplier[/i]. If you're getting wrecked, it's because the other person outplayed you, not because the gun elevated them from scrub to crucible lord. It's not like anyone can't go and get Thorn for themselves, so if it's so OP, use it yourself.
