Using NLB won't solve your casual woes. It's not going to magically remove the anguish of being a scrub in a 1337 MLG world. Although true gamers give the impression that NLB "just works," it's not quite as simple as that. You'll still experience incompatibility and those irritating nuances associated with all forms of being a casual. What you won't experience, however, is a lack of attention to details with the guardian in mind. If you're switching to NLB solely because you're ticked off with your k/d, no exotic will please you. However, if you're willing to make a change that will first be bumpy, but will eventually pay off in terms of overall satisfaction and enlightenment while playing, then you're ready for NLB. You can even use your guardian without having to level a new one specifically for it. You have to be willing to change your entire perception of how sniper rifles should be.
