[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]

Weve all agreed in a past cast that limiting will only create snowballing. The special ammo change will cause no different. When it comes to the nerfs i strongly disagree with redwings statment on being forced to use something else. That is not even close to what balance is. There are too many dedicated pvp players with different playstyles for one thing to be viable at a time. If you really wanted to use other things other things should just be more viable
