The problem is not that all people are running around with Sidearms.
The problem is that after over two years of rebalancing this game, we finally have reached a state where Sidearms are the best gun it he game.
This is the sole reason why people run them.
The game is so broken now, that sidearms outgun everything.
Oh, and the joke Sniper NLB is now the best one.
Or to put it differently, which two weapons have never been touched by any rebalancing... anybody else saying Last Man Standing?
Update:
Some people argue it's because of ammo. This only explains why people use Sidearms and not some other special.
My point is: why use sidearms if primaries (Handcannons, Pulses) are better? Because in the 20m range no Primary outguns a Sidearm.
Update 2:
This is not a nerf posting. I just want to show that if you cut everything down, dwarfs become suddenly giants.

Edited by PotatoNet: 2/19/2017 6:59:28 PMI remember me during Year 1 and 2. I honestly never would have thought sidearms would be used more than other specials. I never would have thought people would complain about NLB and Universal Remote. You all must really suck at PvP it you start complaining about Uni and NLB. This is the saddest state I've seen Destiny in. The only thing you ever do is complain. You complain because you can't learn how to counter a simple gun. A simple archetype. It's really sad to see how you're all so selfish and lazy. You are the reason the game is like this, in this state. You're pathetic. I'm talking about the community in general, not the OP. He seems to share the same ideology
