Aim assist as I've known it, back when I used to play Halo on a daily and the old MW games on the 360, was when your aim would slow down to help you with shooting an enemy. No one ever noticed it, and was never really a problem to begin with. With Destiny, however, there are so many weapon PERKS that help INCREASE aim assist on these weapons. There is an option to disable aim assist in-game, but there is no "off" switch for the guns. Many of these guns have perks like "Hidden Hand" that increase the weapon's target aquisition, or aim assist for that matter, by "curving" bullets to hit someone, without even aiming where you want the bullet to go. I mean, take snipers for example. 1000-Yard Stare has one of the highest aim assist stats out of any sniper in the game. Then you add Hidden Hand on it. You go and shoot someone without even aiming at them and you still hit them. I know this is a MMORPG, but why is this acceptable? I've heard SO MANY players say they're good because of the weapon they use. With snipers, they say they can get head shots left and right without doing anything, then you look at that weapon's perks. The weapon has a huge range stat, hidden hand, and a scope/muzzle perk that increases aim assist to the next level. How is this skill? The weapon did 90% of the work. All you had to do was aim in the direction of your target and pull the trigger. So, again, how is this fair? I say try removing the aim assist perk in a later update. Let's see what happens. Maybe the so-called "good" players will start to struggle again. Maybe not. People say guns kill people. Well it seems in this game, that is all too true. If a gun has its own separate stats that increase aim assist, then don't go around saying you have skill. Not saying you don't; I've seen my fair share of people who use weapons that have little to no aim assist and can dominate matches and carry players through the most difficult games. Have you seen someone wreck with NLB!? That shit gets me runnin'.
