Thats a crazy statement. All the hardcore PvPers i knew in D1 have long left D2. The one thing they wanted in D1 as a comp mode, and pinnacle weapons didnt exist then...although I guess trials weapons/gear for flawless were tamer versions. Even then most their perks were tailored to trials. Having pinnacle weapons that are tied to, or have their perks tied to the activities their intended for would save lots of trouble Id bet most of the use them weapons get is in quickplay and thats why Bungie have nerfed them. This couldve avoided it. The edge in comp is important and in quickplay it shouldnt be a factor, let alone motivate people to get them handcannons to make pub stomping easier imo.
