Bungie, stop listening to nerfing IDIOTS

Bungie, the Destiny Beta was awesome, but it makes me sad when some people start whining about things like the Interceptor being overpowered, and worse, you actually listen to those people. I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to feedback from your community, because you absolutely should, but those people saying it's overpowered, are the same people who jumped in front of it in the crucible trying to kill it with a hand cannon and ended up swallowing one of it's rockets. If there's something as powerful as that on the map, you adapt your style of play. You can't expect to win by running out into the open lit up like a christmas tree trying to pull off a one shot. These people ruin the game for those of us who actually want to play it like it was meant to be played but now on the moon map everyone's just going to butt rush the one remaining interceptor and that with it's lower fire rate will kill one enemy team member then get grenaded by the rest (a la scorpion on the Halo maps). And after this happens because of the openness of the map it will just become a snipe fest. PLEASE have confidence in your level, vehicle and gun design to be able to turn to these people and say "No, we're not changing it. You're doing it wrong". If i saw an interceptor on the moon map and ours was nowhere in sight, I avoided it. And lo and behold, 9 times out of 10 i didn't die. And if I did die, i knew I'd done something wrong. I guess the hard part is distinguishing between this kind of thing, and when stuff is ACTUALLY broken (nothing from the beta springs to mind for me, and i played all 3 classes with a variety of different weapons and liked what i saw). If you ever played Battlefield 3, you may remember the USAS 12 shotgun with grenade rounds glitch that was exploited by so many in the first few months (they eventually fixed it); that is an example of something that was actually broken. Please don't change anything else too much. It was awesome as it was.

  • As an elite gamer myself, the only OP thing WAS the interceptor. Tired of people saying it wasnt. Secondly, Bungie even found it OP, otherwise they wouldnt be nerfing it. Bungie isnt like COD where 1 person whines and they listen. If they even feel that its too overpowered, then theyll do something about it. I mean, cone on, seriously? A vehicle that shot rockets endlessly every second. A big bulky front preventing any kill except for side shots. The only real way to destroy was super, turret, or another interceptor. Then when it did get destroyed it practically respawned instantly just to get used again. How is that not OP?

    • You seriously didn't think infinite rockets was OP? Every time I saw the damn interceptor, all I could see was the holy fountain of rocket spam.

    • I laugh at interceptors they get wrecked by a turret.

    • Dev's use data to decide if things in their game are OP, not children's tears.

      • And the frag rounds in usas wasnt a glitch. It was something that was actually overpowered. Even i used it myself, until they fixed it:

        • I've been on a team where we had both interceptors and two pikes. Not fair at all for the other team. Interceptor was good to nerf just they shouldn't do anything else.
