Ok so here's the deal; in the Crucible everyone who's smart uses the hand cannon. When this game first came out everyone used auto rifles. My point is that destiny goes through phases where one is always better than the other. It shouldn't be like that.
One of this games selling points was you could pick any kind of weapon and use it but what happens when they nerf the weapon you like to use. You want to be competitive so you have to switch what kind of weapon you use.
In PvE it's the same deal on a much smaller scale. In most cases you have more free range over what to use, but there are those discriminations from the Crucible.
Mostly no one uses auto rifles in PvE and PvP because they were hit so hard by the nerf that they are worthless. The fusion rifle also feels worthless to use. The side arm is way to inaccurate to be able to use it for anything. Also I feel pulse rifles need a buff because they feel underpowered.
All weapons should be on a level playing field so that we all can use the weapon class we prefer. I understand that each weapon is different from the rest but all base stats should be more level so everyone can use what they like and not what will get them more kills.
