It is mostly prevalent in the PvP side. As someone who was playing Destiny since 2014, I usually had this problem throughout both games. The difference is, that I came to Forsaken VERY late(since I thought the base game was trash). But since I am late, I am behind on the current Meta, and am currently going through hell just to handle myself in these modes. Crucible is the worst it has ever been, and Luna' s Howl(on console at least) is almost required to do jackshit in PvP. I am not a high enough level to handle Black Armory, and my clan no longer plays the game so I can't exactly do raids effectively. So, I have no real access to weapons I want so it isn't as enjoyable to play against those who do. But, I am pretty happy with my Last Word and my Ikelos_SG as of now. I just wish that some weapons were nerfed so I can actually stand a chance in PvP, but I don't really mind in PvE.
