1. Aim assist is far from enough to compensate for freedom and speed of movement that MKB allow for.
2. FPS games are unplayable on controller without aim-assist.
3. Saying that XIM + aim-assist is broken - well duh, it's cheating, obviously it provides an advantage. How about doing something to prevent that cheating, instead of just making the game unplayable on controller? Do you cut off your whole fingers when you need your nails clipped?
4. Destiny is primarily a PvE game, and if it wants to go the esports route - the first thing should be dedicated servers, NOT aim-assist discussions.
5. For the reason above, I feel a nice middle-ground would be disabling aim-assist in PvP. The people who are super into that mode will not be playing on controllers anyway - it's too much of a disadvantage.
6. If you remove aim-assist from PC altogether - you'll lose players. Not a huge amount obviously, but enough to notice. Let people play as is comfortable for them.

Do you know why Overwatch doesn't have aim assist on pc? Because no one uses a controller on PC, all it does is enable mkb users to buy a xim or use some software alternative to cheat. They are EVERYWHERE in this game. PROBABLY because it's one of the only tripleA shooters that allows it.

Is no one else seeing the simple solution to this? Why not allow the player to choose whether they want to play in an aimbot game or not? Add an option "Use Aim Assist in PVP" And those who do not select it, play in games separate to those who do, this way, people can play in parties with mixed KB&M and controller users, but those who choose to use KB&M only, get to play with other non-aimbotters, ultimately levelling the playing ground. This wouldn't even require additional servers, just a few adjustments to the games code in a simple update (or 2 depending on whether bungie breaks the game or not). [spoiler]It's not hard[/spoiler]
