Bump
There's so much to reply to but I can't do not know my phone. Makes it a pain to reference your post and continue my thoughts. I'll have to wait till it get home.
I'll leave you with this though. (PVP focused only)
They've created a vicious circle because of the things they balance on.
TTK
Effective range
Wanting varied gear choice
Over use
Under use (to less of a degree)
There's more but I can't think of them right now.
Several of those things contradict each other in how you would normally balance for them. So they're constantly playing a tug of war with their own balancing act believing they can maintain balance.
Problem is that people don't play the game in a balanced way. Players will always find the fastest way to kill. Always. They will always gravitate towards the loadout that accomplishes this. The fact that Bungie fights low TTK is a direct conflict with how players play. Yet they seem blind to that.
Hmm...even that was longer than I originally thought it would be.
