Let me get this straight Bungie, you went and buffed an already strong weapon class with Auto Rufles? Are you actually trying deliberately now to create a new meta instead of balancing each class?
Do not get me wrong, Auto Rifles are one of my favourite classes. Right after hand cannons in that reguard, but all this is going to do is end up with Autos being nerfed to the ground next weapons balancing (again).
This meta has been surprisingly balanced out of the others, similar to the original meta in that reguards. The original meta went like this;
[spoiler]Strongest: Auto Rifle
Contender: Hand cannon
Decent class: Scout Rifle
Joke item: Pulse Rifle[/spoiler]
This has not been mimicked really in the many weapon balances until TK when we had this;
[spoiler]Strongest: Pulse Rifles
Contender: Auto Rifles
Decent: Scout Rifles
Joke item: Hand cannons[/spoiler]
All you needed to do was nerf Pulse rifles(slightly, not into the ground but to bring them down to Auto power) and buff Hand Cannons to bring them back up to a decent status.

They only look at amount of users using an item. I don't think any of them actually play this game or listen to the forums.
