I had a handful of people ask me to respond so I rushed to get this video up.
As always I welcome the discussion and disagreement, just please actually watch the video before calling me a name or denouncing my viewpoint. I'm on twitch daily if you want to discuss this live.
**EDIT : I will be discussing this LIVE tonight at 11pm EST. I will address many of the rebuttals and disagreements from the forums so be sure to tune in.

Edited by SheGoesRawr: 7/18/2015 6:08:58 PMI agree with mostly everything that was stated in the video and I really appreciate how you look at this from multiple perspectives. My thoughts: While I am admittedly aggravated that so many weapons are being nerfed across the board, the one thing that stands out in all of this controversy is that Bungie is meddling in a lot of things that the community has [i]never mentioned[/i]. I, personally, have never witnessed the outcry of an icebreaker nerf, or a gally nerf, or a PvE nerf whatsoever. It is my belief that Bungie is artificially extending their content and simultaneously trying to detach us from weapons that have stuck around too long. I have made the arduous decision to take an extended break from Destiny, now that my season pass is used up. I'm not going to play a game where the incentive is "grind repetitive strikes and raids for loot so we can lower the overall PvE damage that loot does in one swing of a nerf bat".
