"Oh yea Bungie, please nerf those guns for pve as well"
-No pvp complainer ever
Seriously, all people want is for weapons to be adjusted accordingly in pvp only, not -blam!-ing blanket nerfed across all modes. Bungie has shown that they can at least adjust damage between modes like in the case for shotguns. It's not pvp players' fault that your weapons are nerfed in pve, it's Bungie's fault for being too lazy to separately balance weapons for completely different modes.
Every time someone has a valid complaint about PvP, people just go: "hurr durr don't change anything if not auto rifles". Every. -blam!-ing. Time. It's as if their small minds can't comprehend that there's such thing as a middle ground.
