Believe it or not, I think you have a lot of great points in your rather long winded response (though I prefer that over a short childish rant filled with expletives which is rather dull and expected from most people on here.) As should have been obvious from my sarcastic message, I don't care what you do, and I was trolling to see what kind of response I got; and was actually pleasantly surprised.
I already play far less due to many of the reasons you've pointed out, and moved on to playing other great games like Witcher 3 and FFXIV (since everyone has different tastes, I'm sure what you and others consider good games will vary). I don't need to post a rant on here to make myself heard (since Bungie obviously already ignores it). I haven't pre-ordered TTK, as I'll wait to see the full details before I do that. I'm lucky if I play one or two days a week now (up until about a month ago I played every day, I have 6 characters, and 1000+ hours in the game). The only sound that the deaf ears of companies hear is the cha-ching of money (or lack thereof) and time spent on their product.
Obviously I don't agree with your arguments for all of the weapons you stated above, but everyone has a different point of view on those things. The fact is that every game since [b]ever[/b] that came out as an online game has had weapon balancing. This was going to happen, but as you stated, Bungie has found some fairly asinine ways to go about it. Despite my amount of hours in the game I only play for fun and not any form of competitiveness (yes, I hate PVP), and I have plenty of friends to play with, so these weapons nerfs will likely barely be noticed by me anyway.
Though in a slight defense to Bungie, since 99.9% of the people on this forum do nothing but bitch about everything, all the time, for any reason, I can't say I blame Bungie for ignoring them. This community is full of a bunch of elitists, entitled children, and wannabes; and if it wasn't for the sheer amusement of watching people make asses of themselves on this forum constantly I can't see any other reason why they haven't shut bungie.net forums down for all the usefulness it actually has...
Regardless, good luck on your own personal crusade. Personally I don't think its worth the effort. I'll just play other games.

Yes, I did get that you were baiting me - your reply was too well thought out to be the usual troll post, just thought I'd give a friendly nudge in response:-p I was expecting a lot of abuse from the fan boys though, guess it must be their day off. I'm pretty much where you're at with regards to playing Destiny. I'm only on a couple of times a week now and then it's either for clan activities or to help out some random who's messaged me because, frankly, there's nothing left to do. Otherwise I'm playing Dragon Age and will be playing ESO soon (kinda looking forward to the FF7 reboot though). As for TTK, if I buy it at all it'll be a used copy of the Legendary Edition; Bungie've got enough money out of me. I'm not a big fan of PvP either and I'm certainly not very good at it. I do, however, understand their frustrations and refuse to jump on the PvP vs PvE bandwagon; both aspects of the game are broken and until the infighting stops and both sections of the community unite against Bungie its going to stay that way. I'm not opposed to weapon balancing either - there's a real need for it in this game. Unfortunately, Bungie seem incapable of approaching the issue in a rational and reasoned manner and just end up pushing people into relying on the latest OP weapons. Maybe before they finalise these updates they should have volunteers from the community test them in game play and see how they work for the people who actually play the game. Happily, this update isn't going to have much of a negative effect on me; I'm very versatile in my use of weapons, have a wide and varied selection and I don't rely on any crutch weapons. I'm also looking forward to introducing the post TDB players to my Shadow Price;-) You're absolutely correct about the forums too - I usually entertain myself during my breaks at work reading them. But I do believe that a lot of the ranting is borne out of frustration at Bungie's disdain for the community and the way a game with so much potential has been squandered. I also know that my crusade won't make a blind bit of difference, but they've been trolling me for the last ten months so its only fair I return the compliment. Maybe I'll un-mute Deej and start posting my own weekly updates on Bungies epic failures to address the issues that matter to the community on his "welcome to the forums" post (assuming it;s still there). Just a thought.
