And I think you're an idiot if you think that my fun in a game is based on how hard it is to effectively kill a dreg. They want to add interesting mechanics to encounters, that's fine. But why on earth should Bungie care if I like to use a certain weapon in PvE? Auto Rifles are already nearly worthless in the current tier because all the current auto rifles are low impact and high rate of fire. Basically the only good ones are Suros and Abyss Defiant, and using up your exotic slot on a primary is usually a losing battle in PvE. Shotguns will never be useful in PvE. What big enemies lack in brains they make up for in brawn and being up close and personal is a good way to take a break while you wait for revive. I'd put money that the majority of those auto rifle kills in PvE come from roc strikes where people can feel free to dick around with a weapon that's fun, or the abyss where there's tons of weak enemies in close range. In all serious encounters though, most auto rifles are put away in favor of things with punch and range. So scout rifles and decent hand cannons like hawkmoon.
