So I read over the weapon balancing that is coming in December and what a shocker PvE will suffer once again. We are back to exactly where we were last year this time. Let me save all the people who are going to create nerf threads come December some time. Nerf Auto Rifles, Nerf Fusion Rifles. Same time last year, the AR/FR combo was the meta in Crucible, Shotguns and Pulse Rifles were useless in PvP and PvE, and scout and snipers were the same place as they are today (unchanged)
I have no clue what are all these tests Bungie conducts, but obviously they do not know what they are doing. Is it me, or are they just reversing the nerf that they did to A/R the last time they broke them. And they are reversing the Pulse Rifle buff back to when they were broken.
I have no idea why Bungie insists on nerfing a weapon type into the ground so it becomes unusable. They need to start buffing just the weapons that lag behind. Buffing one class while nerfing another has not worked to date, it has always lead to one weapon type being severely broken. They are not balancing anything, we are just switching from one weapon type to another with every update.

We can thank the small majority who cry the loudest for things like this. Personally minus a few tweaks I think things are pretty much balanced as is right now. But rather than adjusting a few things let's redo it all because a few people rather bitch and moan than adapt. I'm not sure what is worse. The people bitching or the fact they are being listened to like they were the majority. Just because they cry louder does not mean they speak for everyone. These people cry nerf but do not see the whole picture of PvP and pve and just spew nonsense because of a rough round in pvp. It is just ridiculous. Lets nerf pulses when it already takes 2+ bursts to down somebody as it is already? Lets remove litc because you might possibly get lucky and body shot kill somebody with a sniper rifle when you already can without if they don't have full shields? Rather than slightly buff autos, fix hc accuracy, make fusions viable again, tone down shotgun distance, and make side arms better let's screw it all up because a few people did not get their way. It makes absolutely no sense at all but like with everything else let's make the majority suffer because the minority can cry louder. Go figure
