Sure it may not apply here for pvp but its a principle that applies in general and probably does apply to pve. If you make a reward powerful then take it away its going to be unpopular. Not a smart move before a major dlc release which alot are still deciding if they want or not. It would be like a political party saying they are going to raise taxes a couple of months out from an election. It would be political suicide. Thats why they do it after theyve already been voted in. We get angry but cant do anything about it. Come next election most have forgotten. Im not saying thats right but its smarter than what bungie are doing here. Nerfing imo should not be apart of pve. If they want people using more varied weapons make better weapons. Its not difficult to understand.
