IMO based on Bungie's previous stream their devs clearly don't spend enough time WITHIN their own game (e.g. trying to equip two exotic weapons at once and that blasphemous display of TLW usage). In regards to pvp, players will naturally use a weapon that has an advantage over other weapons, however slight. They want to win, I can't blame them. The problem here is the cycle of nerfs that have brought us to this current state. For simplicity's sake lets group weapons into group A and B. You nerf group A, people will start to use group B. Then you nerf group B because its usage spiked, and people revert back to group A which although was nerfed previously, performs slightly better than group B now. And on and on and on until all we are left with are weapons that are watered down versions of their original state. It's like a reverse power creep. They don't feel powerful or exciting or unique anymore. Now this is just a very general example, obviously it can be more complex than that. Bungie seems to make decisions based on the effect, rather than the cause. For example, the nerf to hungering blade because they felt it would be too hard to counter (the effect) due to the special ammo economy changes and blanket nerfs to shotguns (the cause). If they didn't mess with the special ammo economy, they wouldn't have needed to nerf hungering blade, leading to "unintentional" mess-up to health regen perks on other weapons / classes. Even the previous overusage of certain special weapons (the effect) was largely due to weak primary weapons (the cause). Now there are other things that Bungie should consider like map designs that heavily favor a particular weapon type but that is for another day. Well that's my opinion anyways. TL;DR : Bungie should look into their decisions with more thought before implementing them. Look more into the cause, rather than the effect.
