They gave each subclass way more synergy, which is way more PvE beneficial. It is also a simpler system, so tuning for PvP would also be much easier. It was obviously a wise move, benefiting every aspect of the game. I don't think you're complaining but I do think you're on a bit of a bandwagon. People don't see the benefits to the PvE aspect the changes made because they haven't put down their pitchforks since Thorn's buff. If bungie made changes to [i]only[/i] benefit the crucible sandbox they'd lose half their player base and they obviously know that.
