Tbh, why the -blam!-! didn’t they just say so? I suspect, yes you’re partially right, it’s the progression from nerfing warmind cells and now on to CWL, and it’s probably also part of weapon crafting and dealing with tech limitations I.e the extra trait to give manufacturers identity. Again, why not just be open about it? And also, you know the gianormous elephant in the room, why oh why choose to -blam!- with the helmet mods a contentious area to begin with? It feels like a communication failure combined with cowardice to admit nerfing us to keep content challenging. I can’t speak for the Destiny community, but you know, often fans will surprise you, if you’re straight up honest with them they might be understanding.
