Wake Up And Smell The Easy Mode
"M-m-muh weapons" He cried as his favorite weapons were nerfed.
You guys do realize why Bungie is making everything (apart from a few exotics) UN-upgradable?
They're essentially wiping the guns clean and it's OUR fault.
Still using that old sniper from TDB that has final round?
Not anymore.
Still cheesing bosses and being an elitist about Gjallarhorn?
Nope.
Playing Crucible easy mode and getting the highest K/D in Crucible because Thorn?
You wish.
Blink Shotgunning your way to victory?
R.I.P. Scrub.
Destroying Sepiks, Walkers, Archon Priest, Atheon, etc with Black Hammer and Ice Breaker?
Get outta here.
[b]Am I guilty of these things?
Of course I am.[/b]
Is it my fault?
Kinda.
I use these tactics and weapons, I'm at fault for being a scrub.
I blame others for elitism, but us as a community are to blame for that as well.
I mostly blame Bungie for making such OP weapons and then taking their time to nerf them.
Taking a lot of time too.
Thorn has been dominating for quite some time now. On top of that, you can still glitch Thorn (Never done that before, but was blamed for doing so)
Am I salty?
A little. Playing against a team of all Thorn is kinda frustrating.
Some Hopscotch here and there, but not too bad.
I'm so hyped for weapons patch 2.0 and for our weapons to be mostly useless in TTK.
Hopefully Bungie won't screw up this time and make a certain gun the next Gjallarhorn.
[u]-Opinions are opinions, if you think I'm bad at Destiny and I should kill myself or something similar to that, okay. That's your opinion-[/u]
[b]EDIT:[/b] Hey guys, criticism is great and all, but if you feel that I'm wrong in any way, please point out why, don't just insult me.
I promise if you pose an argument to mine in a reasonable and sensible manner, I will reply back and maybe even agree with your points and admit defeat. Calling me names doesn't get you anywhere and I'll end up ignoring you.

I'm in full agreement that Destiny's Year One weapons need to be pushed aside for better, well balanced weapons. Here's the thing, I thoroughly enjoy RPGs. Destiny is an RPG (don't try to deny it, the similarities are obvious), but unlike other loot-driven RPGs, the one major thing that Destiny got wrong, was the reliance on one weapon or another. The game just did not have enough variety for a player to FIND the next best thing. If you look at titles like Borderlands and Diablo, the loot and variants of weaponry, was abundant all the way through to end game content. Destiny Year One had you hit the wall at level 20, before advancing FOURTEEN more levels, nursing the same pistol, same shotgun or rocket launcher. It didn't take long to Squeeze all of the skills out of those weapons. For end-of-game weapons, they were complete after only a week or so of use. Those exotics became crutches rather than extensions of a players skill. Want to dominate PVP? Cheese a player with Thorn. Want to kill that raid boss? Everybody launch wolf pack rounds! While yes, raid bosses take skill and the need to kill them quickly is there, now (especially with Xur's recent fire sale) everyone has a Gally and they're used for the most piddling of boss encounters in the game. Bungie NEEDS to do away with heavy reliance on one weapon and needs to bring in all manner of alternatives. What's more, personally I think people should be more open to trying new things. That is all.
