This has bothered me since I started playing Destiny 1. It always lacked that focus on either or, trying to balance things (Guns, Abilities, stats... etc) for PvP while making them worse all around in PvE. This is something that really just needs to stop but we now see it again with the loadout system in Destiny 2.
I just gotta say, Bungie needs to pick a side or separate them. Don't let PvE players suffer because you balanced things for PvP or vice versa. For separation though using loadouts as an example why not just have Primary/Special/Power in PvE and Primary/Primary/Power in PvP? Why can't we have the two modes balanced for themselves separately? Why does PvE need to suffer because (True endgame from lack of content:) PvP nerfs need to effect PvE too?

Bungie has no experience with games like this. They also have no experience with nerfing/buffing things. They said since day one that "every weapon will have it's season" and "we don't want you to get attached to one weapon." While they primarily meant those sorts of comments towards PvP players, they also had PvE in mind. They seem to think that this community needs to have minigames, minigames that consist of everyone using the same exact weapon setup. In a game that has elements from so many game genres, it seems like we're brick walled into playing ONE playstyle and having to switch to a new one even if EVERYONE had fun with the setup. I was a PvE player until HoW came out, then I started goofing off in PvP(that teammate everyone hates, the one who just messes with the enemies for the laughs...I was bored okay? Haha). After a while, I finally went back to PvE......you know what I found? My PvE setup was completely trashed, checked the patches and found out why. Back in year 1 and the beginning of year 2, I was the one sitting there posting and replying to all the people saying "nerf this, berf that." You know what I told them? "Here's a thought: Why not buff the weak weapons and abilities so that there's more variety, or make the nerfs inactive for PvE?" I think I may have also posted a couple months back about perks like TLW's damage perk could just be a PvE perk, instead of flat out removing it, keep it for PvE only...same for shot package. Nobody was following me, they all hated me for trying to keep this s-fest from happening.
