Because it might be nerfed.
I stopped playing the game as often as I used to. I am still around, but not every night, and not every week. I just lost confidence in your weapons, Bungie.
It's a pretty bad thing in a shooter game when a player is unable to nurture its skills due to too frequent game mechanics changes made by a game developer.
Do not shoot yourself in a foot by doing things that reduce your customers base and do not hope your marketing team will cover your losses by winning the hearts of new gamers with another red bull or a similarly stupid campaign.
Stop nerfing our weapons, Bungie.
EDIT: removed Bait and Switch analogy.

You are so right...

Agreed, I used to go on patrol to practice my sniping accuracy when I finally got a quickdraw sniper, and started getting dang good at quickscoping, but two weeks after I got that sniper they nerfed them into the ground. There's no point in getting skill in a game where eventually the mechanic that requires the skill will be removed.

How to lower KDR!!! Get drunk, use No Land Beyond!!!
-
I'm afraid of [i]talking[/i] about any weapon for fear it might get nerfed. I used to freely comment about what weapons I like to use.....but not any more.....
-
Duke mk20 that thing will never be nerfed. Or Imprecation. Lolz.
-
If they nerf my Hand cannons one more time, I'm out
-
[quote]Bait and switch is illegal.[/quote] Pretty sure it's not illegal. That's why you can apply for a fishing licence.
-
Patches balance every 4 months that's not frequent enough
-
Patches should come out at least on a monthly basis but with minor tweaks! And not gamebreaking adjustments (see handcannons, or any other gun really ... ), that leaves a complete weapon class obsolete for an average of 6months - 3 years ...
-
Use the first curse. It has nowhere to go but up :p
-
And then you go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like [quote]Stop nerfing our weapons we paid money for by buying the game, Bungie. Bait and switch is illegal.[/quote]

You forgot to mention running out of ammo. In a first person shooter... running out of ammo.... so that you can't shoot..............
-
resort to shoguns. Everyone does it. Can't use primary? Then don't worry! That's why they have shotguns. Hah.
-
You're an idiot. All nerfs are caused by PvP players bitching
-
Every time I see a poll asking which is your favorite gun or subclass, I always vote my least favorite.
-
I love how when a popular u tuber makes a video that doesn't necessarily depict an OP gun/nade/subclass, but they talk about how beastly it is and then all of the sudden, you see them more in pvp and there's more and more OP posts about then and sure as snails hate salt, they get neutered in the next update. I hate when a utuber features a weapon I like. Then I know it's just a matter of time before weisnerski gets ahold of it and I have to find a new toy.

The obsession Bungie has with nerfing literally everything in this game and that's not even a joke. Is why i won't buy ROI. It would be wasting time just to watch the nerf capital of gamming history nerf everything just because it's fun to use. What makes it worse is knowing Bungie allows everything to work as normal in PvP but screws over the PvE gamers.
-
People feel personally responsible for weapon nerfs? Man the weight of the world on your shoulders must be absolutely punishing. I always thought they used aggregated data when evaluating weapon efficiency, not reviewing individual performance with individual guns...
-
I pretty much say -blam!- it and use what always have, been running striker titan since year one and now it's "op". We wouldn't be down this path if people accepted being beat by stuff that isn't really op, nothing has been said from bungie about the balance to come either. I say balance because I still hope they can actually do it without -blam!-ing shit up, or their too scared to tell us.
-
So you want weapens that wont get nerfed? Than i advice to use underperforming weapens, like high inpact primairies and fusion rifle/sidearm. I expect that IF anything changes to those weapens, it will probebly be a buff.
-
Oh No! OP plans to use melee attacks exclusively. Sound Battle Stations! I say again sound Battle Stations! Prepare for melee nerf! OP is contributing to the over-saturation of melee kills. Bungie will not abide! I kid, of course. Play how you want. Just enjoy yourself. I haven't adjusted my core load out since the beginning. Meta be darned. Traded Another NiTC for Treads, but the principle is the same.

Bait and switch is not illegal it's just normal US marketing...
