I believe that you tubers and steamers are in fact responsible for most of the nerfs that Bungie does. Look I love the content just as much as any one else, but these streamers and you tubers have biases based on their play style and if Bungie listens to anyone, they listen to the people they invite to their studios first.
Case in point Planet Destiny, Triplewreck, and My Name is Byf all complained non-stop about shot guns and now that they have been nerfed into the ground their response is, "Bungie went to far." No they didn't, they did exactly what you're pleading for. The same for First Curse effectively ruining Hawkmoon in the process.
Then there are the nine missing exotics that we all have wanted since the drop of TTK. These exotics are mostly for pvp and give the old subclasses more staying power in the shadow of the new ones. It looks like we are only getting two of them with the December time gate and they will most likely be the ones that a select few players have glitched into. The question is where's the other seven like Astrocyte Verse?
It is most likely being held back because the aforementioned content providers complained OP before this was ever released. These people are not game designers and should keep some of their biases to themselves. Bungie doesn't want Datto saying I told you so, so by doing this the you tubers are effectively locking content from us.
Astrocyte Verse was in the promos for TTK. I don't think it would be OP for an under utilized subclass especially in light of the shot gun nerfs to have a slightly better blink. Why can't one class have slightly better movement to help bring it in line with shadowstep? Albeit being forced to use an exotic.
The answer is simple because Planet Destiny, Datto, and My Name is Byf complained OP before even playing with said gear. This is wrong. If you make content don't ask for nerfs before the gear is even in the loot table, because you can not predict the metta after an expansion and 3 new subclasses! Stop ruining the game for everyone else so you can golden gun, hos, and chain lighting everyone.
Btw I'm not a shotgunner I want blink to make my voidwalker viable and for defense and platforming.
End rant.

Simple the popular listen to popular. Bungie is bullfückingshit they only listen to the popular faggöts that think they know shit but are immature enthusiasts of this game. They should also listen to the minority cuz they may knoeven more than these pathetic youtubers
-
Well Bungie propped them up in a sense to begin with. I don't blame the youtubers as they have to make money somehow, Bungie is the one at the center of it all...and money of course.
-
They complained that there wasn't weapon Balancing. How is it their fault that Bungie's definition of balancing is nerfing one group of weapons and buffing another? And it was people on the forums that complained about OP stuff. You can check right now and see people complain about snipers and sunbreakers.
-
They are really helpful actually but cause all the nerfs

A lot of it is based on statistics and numbers, not complaints. I would actually say that the streamers influence the PLAYERS, and bungie reacts to that (the way they play/ what they use) more than what the streamers do themselves. But not to say they don't listen at all, they do.
-
How can you ruin something that is already ruined?
-
I actually kind of agree with this. All Datto has done is bitch about shotguns. Same with Planet Destiny. I don't know about the other person because I never saw his/her videos. You also forgot Mr. Fruit as well as he did his fair share of bitching albeit in a funny way.

The nerf makes fusion and sidearms a option, I don't have a problem with shotguns as a weapon but I am sick of a scrub using all four shots of invective to kill me. The nerf will help open up pvp load outs,shotguns are going to be were bungie wanted them to be when the ttk came out, a " powerful melee ". The only other weapon I have a small problem with is the snipers, ( my main secondary) the aim assist is way too much on them and should get the same nerf in terms of movement speed and ready speed.
-
Nonsense.
-
-
-
Yeah especially when they're essentially doing the same thing equipping there sniper 90% of the time.
-
Invective will still be invective.

I believe you're overthinking things. The chances of Bungie not having released these exotics due to the word of a few popular players is extremely low. I agree that their opinions are held higher than that of a regular person posting on the forums, but I don't believe Bungie actually makes decisions based on what these people are saying. I just really don't think there's any way that the things that have been held back, have anything to do w. Anybody's preliminary reviews. That's just me though, I guess it's possible. Just way too unlikely. & if they're only releasing 2 items, my guess is they will not be class specific. They'll likely be weapons...that's what I'd assume at least. Don't see why they'd only give two classes new exotics.

I don't think Mtashed should be grouped in here though. From everything I have seen of him he seems to be a really great guy.
