I have not bought into the weapon variety ploy bungie insists we need. I never ran around with my fate bringer out all the time. To me those weapons were situational. There were times when another weapon was more effective. So I don't buy it. It's just like I don't buy into players who insist ghorn was a crutch. I played a full year with out one. Cleared plenty of nightfalls and raids with out one. Again, there were times when a different heavy was needed. Crutch? No. Game changer? Absolutely. I personally believe it's the community's fault we don't have a year two version. Same with elemental primaries. They don't detract from so called weapon variety, that add to it. Your mileage may vary.
