here is the domino affect in nerfs and events if you nerf the thorn bungie 1.thorn 2.lw 3. all hand cannons that can be rerolled attentively making them as bad as they were in the beta 4. red death and bad juju; if hand cannons go down the next thing people are ganna be crying about is the pulse rifles 5. all pulse rifle damage reduced 6. half of the player base who plays pve will leave wich is most of your community based on your data that you gave is awhile back 7. scout rifles; no joke if any of this happens scout rifles will become gods and people will wanna nerf them to 8.scouts will get a range nerf wich will destroy them as a weapon 9. and when every other weapon is nerfed it all comes full circle to the auto rifles if the nerfs start with last word or thorn then they will never end and nerfs are always bad news for pve players wich will probably be most of your player base when destiny 2 comes out because pvp players don't stay long in a new ip there are always other pvp games just saying Edit: love how no1 complained about thorn or lw when suros and headlight were op guarantee if ar were never nerfed all the cry babies would shut up want a weapon that really takes no skills pick up a handy dandy ar skills not required
