That is information they probably aren't allowed to talk about yet. If the weapons balancing team at Bungie was more intuitive on what Destiny's player-base needed and wanted then not separating it would have been completely fine. Since the weapons balancing team has proven over the course of three years, which is plenty of time for us as a community to know that the poor weapons and subclass balancing choices will continue, the balance patches with the two modes need to be separated in D2. It is a must for me. I will not compromise on this, even if they hired other people, because the experience of all the D1 nerfs have become an absolute nightmare for me personally. I love both pvp and pve. The quality of both the pve content and pvp was on a constant, downward spiral in D1. The quality of gameplay for both sides had gotten worse rather than better. On a game that was supposed to be "live", it's unacceptable. If it was a game you purchased, completed, and tossed on the shelf, then that would be expected, but Destiny was supposed to be an evolution of continuity. The fact that the quality of gameplay in Destiny had gotten worse rather than better, is unacceptable for the "type" of game Destiny was and is supposed to be. The balance patches in D1 were just all negative in my mind. Hopefully they are smart enough for their own sakes to separate pvp and pve balance changes, or they may be asking for trouble in the future. Not from the community but possibly Activision. Especially if it effects sales of future dlcs and Destiny games. I know I will be quitting the franchise immediately once I see a patch in D2 that shows the balance changes won't be separated. I will have learned my lesson. I have given Destiny and Bungie more chances than I usually do because I loved the game in year 1. Everything was more balanced, besides a handful of guns that needed tweaking and possibly a couple abilities, but that was it. The gameplay experience felt more complete. I'm not talking about the lack of content, I'm talking from a gun play/gameplay experience. Of course Destiny in year 1 needed more content and more story, but the gun play felt way better than now. Everything feels inconsistent now. Nothing hits where you aim it, and that's NOT fun for anyone in a shooter game. Your abilities only work half the time. Consistency is key in shooters. I need to be able to depend on my gear and abilities. With all the nerfs done to everything in D1 they ruined the experience and I can no longer depend on anything to work properly in pvp and pve. Yes, they still work somewhat but the feel of the game is worse. I can't accept that as acceptable anymore. Maybe others can, but I will not.

agreed and I have over 5000 hours of play, so in other words, my opinion matters more than anyone else :)

As expected, zero replies from Bungie.

Nah. It's fine how it is and honestly needs to to stay the way it is or destiny will be stale very fast. What keeps a lot of the community engaged is being able to get gear for whatever you want to do. If Bungie changed this I'd play for a month and quit

Cozmo won't answer this Try putting the message on a Destiny themed birthday cake and posting a picture. Cozmo might look at that
