I feel that crying out for nerfs in any case is always a detriment to all the weapons in the game. What I mean is this, if you break this down it is as such; nerfing powerful guns makes a good weapon worse and we feel we have "lost it", buffing exotic but lackluster guns means we gain a good gun and lose nothing...doesn't that solve everything? Isn't that what we all want, to gain MOAR good guns to play with? Stahp with the nerf talk it will ruin this already mediocre game before christmas comes, what we want is buffs right guise?

Because buffing leads to power creep which makes the game easier than it should be. There is a reason nerfing is the standard, it has a much lower impact on what is a highly complex balanced system that has been planned for years.
