Destiny was marketed as an MMO FPS. The biggest things that stand out in an MMO, are the GRIND, and the REWARD. Since Activision decided to gut this game and sell it back to us, being the greedy bottom-feeders that they are, the only real experience comes from the unique Reward of various pieces of armor and weaponry.
When you go in, and listen to X people (again, a MINORITY) griping about a weapon because they're most likely lacking the skill or motivation to obtain it, you are taking away the Reward, making it less unique. If you want to shift toward carbon copies, you may as well develop the next Call of Duty game, Bungie.
If you agree, make your own posts and spread this YT URL across the forums. This game is NOTHING like what we were told, and if you're reading this, Activision, just realize that the player base KNOWS your horrid reputation for sticking your noses in the creative process, where you've no business being.
We, both PvE AND PvP players are [b]tired[/b] of the garbage. The constant destruction and weakening of Weapon classes to appease [b]the minority that wants a VANILLA, CARBON-COPY SPACE CoD[/b] is utterly ruining the experience of this game.
Oh, and to you kids pushing for these constant nerfs:
1) It won't matter, because most of you will still get your behinds kicked in Crucible, then when the player base moves to the next usable weapon, you'll be right back in here complaining again.
2) If you do not like the way this game is designed, DON'T PLAY IT. Go out, and take a good look at the current political world; maybe then you'll realize what happens when you try to make everyone the same while bowing down to minority nut jobs.
3) For the MLG-tards pushing weapon nerfs, just know that destroying half of the game and giving everyone the same weapon, DOES NOT MAKE YOU SKILLED. [b]It makes you WEAK, because TRUE SKILL means having the ability to adapt.[/b] The game is built for adaptation, not conformity. If you want that, take your sorry selves back to Call of Duty, along with your toxic attitudes.

They guy in the video has an incredible point on making the guns unusable and moving on to the next weapon. BUT, if bungie were to make scout rifles, and auto rifles, and all the games similar. It wouldn't be the game if would be. It would be a cheap, lucky shot type of game. [b][u]Now, the beginning of this video is what I'm talking about.[/u][/b] If they were to make all the guns they have, the same, the game would be like Battlefield or CoD. Getting easy kills on MLG, even though you have a bad aim. In order to make this game stand out, they need to try to have the weapons different from each other and it too overpowered, like thorn, but not the same types. The loot that your talking about though, is still working in they're favor. With their RNG it offers the customer to keep on grinding. It wouldn't be fun to have the best guns, go right to your guardian, in a matter of days. You would get all the things you need, and stop playing. And in doing so, the PvP wouldn't be balanced. Everyone having the best weapons in the game, chaos would be everywhere, rage, it would still be a game where you wouldn't need skill to be the best player. With the RNG, like I said, it wants players to keep grinding for the loot and keep playing. If they get their loot, they might stop playing, and that's the last thing companies want is to have the customer stop using their product. If you don't like any the things I said here about how is just how business works, then Destiny isn't the game for you and you shouldn't play it, if you are gonna be raging and yelling, "that's cheap" to every death.
