Dear Bungie, I'm betting one of the guys who wears a tie decided this would be a quick and easy way to encourage people to use the new 2.0 guns. "It's simple and brilliant," I'll bet he said. "Just because no one dislikes Field Scout, no one complains about Field Scout, and no one wants to change Field Scout, and just because it is the only way for many, many weapons to be usable at all, that doesn't mean we can't neuter it in a thinly-veiled effort to manipulate the herd!" I'm betting that more than one programmer told him it was a bad idea... "We won't even have the 2.0 weapons available for them," they cried. "All it will do is render many of their weapons useless, and we won't even be providing a new alternative for them to try! It's sure to infuriate the players!" But, the man with the tie decided it would be fine. So for the guy with the tie, I have a couple of suggestions: 1) The next time you want to p!$$ everyone off, just change all the prior year's guns to breech-loaders and be done with it. Better yet, make them all into muskets, even the Gjallerhorn. Or make it so a player is poisoned whenever they have one equipped. Or make each shot cost 100 glimmer. Get creative when you patronize us. Also, and I can't emphasize this part enough... 2) Go fornicate yourself with a rusty railroad spike.
