The Shingen autorifles still have a unrealistically long range, and lack of recoil. We PvE players don't notice this because the it is only a very narrow window in our part of the game where the Shingen-C and the Shingen-E are useful before they get supplanted by weapons with higher attack ratings and that do more damage. But in the Crucible, all those things get normalized...so the Shingens allow players to just hose down people with bullets from halfway accross the map. In short, the autorifles have been "broken' since the beta, and Bungie is just finally getting around to reining them in. Automatic rifles are not long-range weapons. But at the end of the day, you're not going to be able to keep both PvE and PvP players happy with the same weapon stats. Because the whole point of PvE play is to find that OP superweapon that lets you mow down the monsters. But that same weapon in PvP play, breaks the game. ..and vice-versa. The changes that make PvP players happy, reduces you to throwing spitballs in high level PvE play.
