Bungie didn't want everyone using the same guns? Year 1 was all about Thorn and how it never got nerfed until Year 2. Bungies logic escapes me ....

At least in PvP, while raiding I saw the Thorn may be once or twice, it was only OP in PvP.

As a fun fact, the PvP overpowered issue was the price of those one or two times. Thorn was balanced in PvP before they buffed it, it had poor handling stats but hit like a truck covered in poisonous snakes. While it was always a 2-shot burn kill in crucible, though, it sucked ass HARD in PvE and the handling was too much for the burn to make up for. Bungie should have given it a solid PvE damage boost like they did shotguns and replaced Final Round with something like Outlaw, for instance. I think we all know what they did instead well enough.
