If that's honestly your situation then I am sincerely impressed. By the time I get home, walk the dog and eat dinner I have about 1.5 hours of game time before I hit the sack (I am married btw, so gaming every single night is not an option ha ha). Getting three characters to rank 5 in IB takes a lot of time either way. At the end of the day, Destiny needs to be less of a grind. This is and has been, one of Destiny biggest flaws since its release last fall. Ah yes, the Thorn. I used to have the can't beat em join em mentality. I have multiple Thorns, I just don't like using them anymore. I'm getting to the point where I can no longer respect myself or other players that rely on Thorn for PvP. In my eyes, it is truly a broken crutch weapon that needs to be adjusted. This same thing happened with Suros Regime. The problem was that they nerfed ALL autos instead of adjusting Suros. What they need to do is buff autos and make a slight change to Thorn (range, clip size, etc). I hear you on the boon and I definitely take advantage...I just wish there were more options for Etheric light other than POE 34+ or Lag banner (I didn't list nightfall btw because I am 18-0 when it comes to Etheric Light) and I have seen many players say the same thing.
