I feel as if we have been stuck with the current crucible "balance" (or more accurately the lack thereof) for far too long now. Me and a lot of people I know who have been playing since day one agree that this has been by far the least fun the crucible has ever been with there being such a huge advantage given to players that chose to run very specific loadouts, and favour given to strategies that require far less skill than their less effective counterparts. We need change, and we need it soon.
I am astonished that there STILL has been almost no mention of a re-balance update, almost no indication of what things might come in the update (other than a vague mention of shotgun changes about a month ago), and not even a hint as to when we can expect it to drop.
I am a die hard player of this game, I've been playing since the beta, and was following the game for months and months before it's release. I've stuck with the game through the good and the bad, but this current state of the game has seen me take more breaks from the game than any other patch by a huge margin (and I know I'm not alone in that).
Please give us some indication of when the next big sandbox update will be, and what we can expect from it.
Also, please don't just make the game worse with the update.

The only thing that needs to happen to the update is an auto rifle buff and equal share of damage to what the hunters nades do. Right now shadow shot smoke does damage over time and removes you're radar. The spike nade melts insanely fast. It's annoying. But make the titan and warlock void class do the same amount of damage. I'd love to use a vortex grenade again. But the damage in the grenade is +5... +5?!?! I like were snipers are at, and shotguns. It is bullshit a shotgun can toe shot you and you die instantly. But if we had auto rifles to melt the -blam!-ers charging at you from 40 feet away. We'd be fine. They would have to pick a better strategy then that. More weapons in the weapon type need to be just as good. Not just one. I think we are all tired of always seeing one really good weapon and the rest are trash to it.
