This. ToO was absolutely created as a cheap, low development time alternative to actual content. ToO was originally planned to be like the iron banner. Instead, it was packaged as a major component of HoW, with the best gear tied to it. It's not fun, and it really is out of place in this game. All the problems with nerfing guns and imbalance stem from trying to attach PvP to an FPS rpg mmo. PvP and PvE should be totally separated in the game, but with ToO Bungie just embraced the imbalance.
