Petition to revert special ammo economy

This is the sloppiest solution ever. The point was to make primaries relevant, not specials irrelevant #1 on trending? Does this tell you anything Bungie? To support, like and bump the topic --- Counter Arguments: "[i]Special spawns so fast get over it[/i]": I don't think you understand how unnecessary an obstacle that is. Why nerf special if they make it abundant? It just makes the game annoying to constantly pick up special. "[i]The game is better now[/i]": Just going to ignore you honestly you don't know what's healthy for the game because right now 95.6% of special kills in trials are sidearms and Icebreaker. I don't need to fight you, common sense will. "[i]Wahh use a primary and adapt[/i]": Maybe you should've adapted last meta when you couldn't use a special

    The problem simply is the actual design. If Bungie would have made it like Halo, where you have to pick up power weapons, nobody would complain. The whole concept of actually having any special (power) weapon, is just absurd for a game like Destiny, especially when all special weapons behave like Halos power weapons and not, let's say like a sniper in Battlefield which is useless in cqc or mid range situations. Another fact is, if you even decide to do this and have a PvP, why do special weapons with ammo regeneration or primary snipers/shotguns even exist? Why even come close to the concept for such a gun when PvP and PvE are a unified experience where players can use everything they have in their inventory. People got used to the whole special-from-start-and-no-weapon-pickup-in-PvP design since Destiny launched. That's ok for PvE. But later Bungie realized this was a huuuuge in PvP, when people started to get better and didn't even used their primary anymore. It was a mistake which I would agree with (because it is simply annoying getting shotgunned or sniped all the time). We went trough several ammo economy nerfs because of that fact alone(!), special type nerfs etc. and yet people will look for every gap for having a second weapon choice because that's the way Destiny worked and was designed and people were welcomed with. No matter what Bungie changes it's way too late to try to change the design of the Crucible (or even the whole game, even in PvE) and how it was originally concepted. So I really hope D2 has weapon pick ups in PvP so we actually get a new feel right from the start and not somehwere mid-game of Destinys lifecycle. A shotgun, for example, can be OP was hell...only if it is a one time use by one player. I do appreciate Bungies wish for more usage of primary guns. I mean, it shows that they learned from mistakes (in my eyes) and it somwhow makes me feel a bit better about D2. I can deal with the current state though. It's still better than a shotgun infested crucible. At least you need to aim with pistols :p
