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.
