Exotics like Thorn, Hawkmoon, and The Last Word were able to apply lethal damage at too far of a range. This caused Bungie to nerf Hand Cannons. Exotics like Suros Regime were able to kill extremely quickly and be effective at too far of a range. This caused Bungie to nerf Auto Rifles. Bungie nerfed Auto Rifles. Shotguns are too good because Auto Rifles kill too slowly. This caused Bungie to nerf Shotguns. All weapon types are bad, so Pulse Rifles are too good. Bungie nerfed Pulse Rifles. Bungie, you have done it before, but please consider buffing weapons. I know that there have been mistakes like Thorn (when it was buffed... Ouch!). Maybe even start over, go back to what everything used to be, then try to find balance from there, but this game's gun system is moving in the wrong direction. Weapons need to be good in their ranges, if so, people will use them because a range will fit someone's playstyle.
