imho, there are two scenarios: A: the Gun is not that good everyone thinks -> no need to have it, it will never become meta or is as good as any other meta-pump B: the Gun is really awesome and meta-changing -> it will again screw PvP at some point as everyone is running it and Bungie has to nerf it finally... Neither A nor B is worth doing that awful Tower-Event. Having said this, I again realize, that Bungie took that game to a point, where introducing new weapons has become nearly pointless. Either it is only decent, then nobody cares except for the collection, or it is outstanding and the next nerf-candidate because it breaks balancing... Curious, how Bungie will solve that in future... ah, silly me, of course: just taking away our old weapons! ;)
