Here's the problem with YOUR thinking. This game isn't an mmo. It's a shooter, with rpg elements and a competetive multiplayer. It has far more In common with a game like cod than wow. It was also marketed towards the cod demographic, so I think it's safe to assume I will receive an experience in line with a typical shooter. Rule number 1 of a competetive shooter is balance, plain and simple. Mythoclasts and pocket infinitys don't fit with that rule, bungie realized this and nerfed accordingly.
