I would argue that balance is not achieved in a game with ~30 exotics and hundreds others in which only 2-3 are viable in high level play. It's also a game in which one class (hunter) is clearly the best choice. I don't find exotic handcannon hunter wars particularly interesting, but that's what 100% of the highest level of play consists of. I think bungie and the community can do better than to accept this. Calling others scrubs for wanting to expand the viable choices is an ignorant, shortsighted move.
