No I think you'll find the reason we can't have nice things is because Bungle can't be bothered to design any NEW nice things. They just re-skin or re-release. If they spent less time listening to the children and "balancing" the weapons (usually in the wrong direction) they might actually have time to make some new stuff. There's no point in having "exotics" or different tiers of weapons if all they are going to do is gradually make them all the same.

I do agree that they take weapon tuning the wrong way, basically all the time. But when they actually buff something, we all just need to agree to stop bitching about it. Eventually they might buff the right thing
