*Disclaimer* I main a lvl 34 Huntress and my main primary (like 90% off the time) is the No Land Beyond, I have made it to the lighthouse three seperate times on flawless tickets from the trials of osiris two weeks in a row, running said weapon with vestian dynasty and tomorrow's answer/hezen vengence. I have three chars but the other two are more for situational countermeasures and studying match-ups, I rarely step into pvp with them and don't get the stupid and ignorant idea that because I have a weapon equipped means that I even use it. For one, I don't like TLW and Thorn is too easy; plus I don't play CoD, and haven't since Black Ops I, so let's just get that shit outta here. Back to the topic at hand here: [u]Original Post[/u] Ok, I'm pretty sure everyone and their grandma who either can aim a -blam!-ing gun is tired of only seeing THORN, THE LAST WORD, RED DEATH, VEX MYTHOCLAST, and *insert scrubby exotic here* in competitive multiplayer events, they along with supers effectively break the game alone, but when you place them in a highly competitive format like IB or ToO, it's even more of an apparent problem. You've essentially turned this game into the shooter's equivalent of Street Fighter (match-up based instead of skill based) I don't know who's idea it was to create such cheap weapons that basically cater to scrubs to make them feel better about the fact that they're shit players who need spray and pray hand cannons or acid burn to get 90% of their kills, but isn't it kind of annoying when you're running crucible by yourself and you get paired up against a stacked team of Thorns, or TLW's etc? Would it really be too much to ask for to have a game mode that plays with level adv's and team based combat, where a player's weapon was chosen because they like it and not because it works? I'm really trying hard to understand why you keep making competitive playlist events that still run this *insert scrubxotic here to win* mentality that is implied when op weapons are given to scrubs who can't aim for shit. Balance is the name of the game when you're looking at competitive multiplayer events and yet you show absolutely no regard in handling it (almost as much regard as the kind shown for your horrid server issues from day one). Stop catering to the lowest common skill denominator and bring back the Bungie that actually gave a shit about balance in pvp, this is sickening; people shouldn't have to be forced to work twice as hard to kill with efficiency just because the other team wants to scrub out with cheap weapons, fix this shit. [u]Second Opinion[/u] I didn't want to edit this completely and wipe out the "wall of text," but I still think that it would be cool to have a playlist running level advantages, no exotics, no supers, or even one or the other being taken out and I'd love to see how it would work. Yes exotics are part of the game, yes supers are part of the game and that's fine, but I just thought that the idea would give a bit of a twist since Inferno Mode sort of went down this path by removing mechanics from the equation, so it's not like this is anything new. Granted, killing someone using these weapons is and always will be satisfying, staring down a vex or thorn and still getting the NLB shot is probably the most disrespectful kill in this game, next to doing it on someone who panic supers one person. I do apologize partially though, I really don't lash out like how I did either, I was just baffled by the fact that people wanted to do shit like assume I'm a CoD player or claim that I use weapons I don't normally use JUST because they're equipped to my secondary chars (ever switch gear around when you claim bounties?), or worse, immediately jump to the conclusion that it's because I'm bad when they main a warlock and can't even go positive (Hilarious). I'm just saying man, I just want a little bit of variety and challenge, but I guess the true challenge would be to rise above; but that's just me. #TeamGhostbusters
