Competitive multiplayer shouldn't favour the players that play 24/7. It should benefit the players that are skilled. They do tend to go hand in hand. If you play a lot, you're probably going to be good. You still shouldn't have a far superior weapon, just because you have more free time. Playing a lot should not allow you to have a weapon that outclasses everything else in PvP. Play time is accounted for in PvE. That is enough. Bungie have even said that they don't want players to all be using the same weapons. If the belief is you can only compete with a certain weapon, something is not right. It seems like a sure fire way to kill a game. People asking for nerfs is irrelevant. Bungie aren't nerfing weapons, just because a loud minority asked for them. They would still buff and nerf weapons, even if the community said nothing. Their data will tell them what everybody is using and doing the best with. They can base their conclusions on that. I'm sure they also play the game themselves and can come to a conclusion what is too good and what isn't good enough.
