First I'll start of by saying that all the problems that Destiny is facing right now is because of [b]YOU[/b]. All that "Snipe bullshit", "Mida is OP", "PvE sucks because of PvP" along with all the rest, is [b]YOUR[/b] fault, and here are some examples.
Snipers as far as I am aware were the same as in Year 1, and back there they were no problem, why? Because we had weapons to counter it. Hand Cannons, Scout Rifles, Shotguns, Auto Rifles (at some point) and Pulse Rifles, along with other things. But the whine was so big that those weapons "went down" and now Snipers are overpowering them, Sniper Rifles lost their natural predators (in other worlds) and now are spreading. Because of nerfs, Snipers became the new meta and the way to go.
And this is not only for Sniper Rifles, since you all asked for countless nerfs to alot of weapons and achetypes, now weapons that were left behind by the nerfs because they were not overused, like the MIDA, are now the meta because it's a good weapon that now can be better compared to others that got nerfed, and due to being overused, weapons like MIDA get accused of being "overpowered".
Just because something is overused, it doesn't mean its OP. MIDA and Snipers were fine back in the days because we had other options that now are not that great or are burried deep (due to nerfs, like the Vex Mythoclast) and if it don't stop, everything will get worst and worst.
And it doesn't stop on weapons, it spreads to Classes and Subclasses.
People complained about grenades, supers, abilities, stats, everything. This made, is making and will make classes get nerfed to a point where they will or already are "useless", like Bungie did to Sunbreaker, is doing to Sunsingers and may do to Nightstalkers. And since those updates affect PvE aswell, which is TOTALLY different from PvP in terms of what is used and what is necessary, alot of classes are useless in PvE, like do you even see subclasses like Voidwalkers, Sunbreakers or Bladedancers in PvE? I don't (maybe once a week or in burn activities).
Because of all the whine everything is getting burried little by little, even new stuff and it looks like people behind Destiny don't actually play the game to know what the hell is going on so their only way to "know" is from forum's feedback and since 11/10 posts are asking for some kind of nerf, they keep nerfing and nerfing and the game gets worst!
Please stop asking for countless nerfs, if you can't stand a loss, go play another game or "git gud", just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean it should be nerfed so it wont be used against you again. Also, if you think weapons such as the MIDA or any type of sniper is an "easy kill weapon", why don't you use it instead of whining that is so OP and must be nerfed?
If you can't understand how the game works and learn how to play it and counter stuff, go away. If a game needs to be nerfed in order for you to get results, theres something wrong. A game where people make non-sense posts about everything on forums and that those posts end up making the game worst definetly shows that there's something wrong.
Please buff Destiny.
PS: The April Update made things a little better, but its [b]FAR[/b] from perfect. Nerfs are still making Destiny a not-that-great of a game. Also, sorry if I made any grammar mistakes, my english isn't that good.

I agree with you to a point, but there were times ( not alot i admit) where the best solution for the sake of balance was to nerf something, best example when thorn/last word ruled the crucible, the ttk on the last word was unreasonable in relation to other primaries and some secondaries, and thorn ( in its prime) could set someone up for lethal dmg with only 2 headshots, the argument to bring other weapons up woudnt have worked on that problem because the game would have been to fast, the only option they had was to bring thorn and last word down a peg, but again i agree that most of the "cry for nerfs" are bad for the game and shouldnt be encouraged.
