Yeah I mean, I know what we're seeing is just a small part of the game, more or less just to test the servers and such, but I am severely disappointed in the direction this has gone. I honestly think the weapon system will completely destroy the PvE experience, and they did it this way simply because of all the people who complained about being sniped or killed by a shotgun in D1 crucible. They've tailored the game to PvP, and effectively ruined PvE. I play both equally in D1, and I see no problem with keeping it as is for the sequel. But apparently too many people whined about those weapons that their complaints wrecked the sequel. Bungie listens to the community, which is good to an extent, but they need to have their own wits about them and recognize when people are whining about dumb stuff that, if changed, would truly hurt the game. This is one of those times they should have ignored the community. And really, the problem is that the people who are fine with the game as is have nothing to say, so they don't post on here. I'm guilty of that too. Which then leads Bungie to believe that the whining, complaining posts they see here represent the entire community, and they are oh-so wrong.

I was just saying to someone else a little bit ago that Bungie is messing around to much with the core of the game. And a lot of that is only for their personal needs and them not taking the player base into consideration on how it effect them. IMO this company has gone way overboard on controlling how gamers play.

I wholeheartedly agree. That was evidenced through their constant nerfs of weapons because they didn't like if a specific one was "too popular." The only time that I explicitly felt that a Nerf was needed was Thorn during HoW, but they took that way too far with how bad they made it. Nerf it into nonexistence is their philosophy.
