On one hand, it seems like bungie is screwing us over with every aspect of TTK. On the other, it's just character progression. At one point in a game something is really hard to get, but later it's easier and seems like a horrible weapon/piece of gear. There are a lot of little details bungie screwed year one players about, but I think after a few weeks we'll get over it and be fine with how it's working. After all, TTK is improving a lot of things, too.
