I agree with you all that the amount of shotgun-ing was at an all time high, however I do not think the problem lies with amount of special ammo available to players in the game. If you want to limit that kind of activity, I think it should start with the weapons, cut down the ranges, make the actual rounds spread faster. When there was a "problem" with fusion rifles they fixed the gun, they didn't take away your ammo. How long will it be before people are complaining because everyone is using Hawkmoon or Thorn? By that logic they will make primary ammo obsolete. I'm no game designer, but it just seems like there were other strategies that could have been implemented if the community really saw this as a problem.
