Agreed. I've heard PvP players whining that the testing was all PvE related, so they changed it (cuz, apparently, the PvP players are more important). But you have to remember that bungie gauges their success on the number of hours of play time. Somewhat similar to how the US based their "success" in the Vietnamese war on body count. They are both completely backward ideas that lead to absolute failure. PvP test weapons are easy for PvP players and hard for PvE players. Total play time = high. PvE test weapons are easy for PvE players and PvP players. Total play time = not as high. Their mandate is to KEEP us playing, as opposed to LETTING us play. They haven't yet figured out that players will want to play a game if they stop taking the fun out of it and turning it into a grind-fest.

Those Omolon fusion rifles are pretty good.

Guardian, I appreciate your opinion please do not think this is a post denying you the opportunity to express that, but this is placed in the wrong forum. Please update your original posting and change the hashtags. This needs to be moved from #help (technical support) to #feedback. Please update your post as soon as you can, thank you in advance Guardian.

Plenty of people play crucible and use the test weapons. You need to stop whining as a pve only player and accept what it is. It's random.

They're "free samples" of the various archetypes offered by the different weapon manufacturers (Hakke, SUROS, Omolon). If you liked the free sample, it might make you consider looking for their stronger versions. The Legendary version you're garanteed to find from Armsday orders will turn out to be very similar to their common counterpart (if you were fine with the reload speed of a common rocket, it can only get better from there).
