With another tuning patch about to be announced, it will be interesting to see once more the effects of the PvP balancing on PvE play. Should the modes be separated or should Bungie continue to cling to the notion of wanting our weapons to perform the same in both modes?

[spoiler][quote]The #destinytruthcast is a Bnet #feedback forum community podcast hosted by members of the community and featuring community members as guests.
The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game.
Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page.
We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode. [/quote][/spoiler]

Weapons being weak in pve at this point is absolutely by design at this point. Why: because the raid content in this game ain't hard. Not even a little bit. So now we have a bunch a false difficulty by them handing us pea shooters and throwing hordes of yellow bar enemies at us. The hardest thing about the raids in this game is getting a group of people who have an attention span larger than a gold fish to get it done. That's why I flat out stopped doing raid content. In games like where people are forced to group together to get things done there are 2 types of people: The "Haves" Who are willing to put and the work get shit done and get what they want no matter how long it takes, and the "Have nots" who either don't have the time (which is understandable) or who simply wish to put in the bare minimum effort and have the world handed to them. I totally understand having stuff out there that's comparable but don't nerf or change the endgame rewards simply because a hand full of players can't get their hands on them and feel slighted. PVE players where putting in work and where justly rewarded with power THEY EARNED. They went in the crucible and wrecked shop because they earned the right to do so ya know, because they put in work...now I have a bunch of end game rewards that simply aren't even worth having when they should be top tier options across the board for every event.
