The players you describe are not pvpers lol, the real pvpers played 100s of hours of crucible in alpha and beta then realised shortly after the actual release that crucible balance had been ruined and was no longer worth playing very much.
All that was needed at that point was a moderate buff to pulse a large buff to handcannons to bring them in line and it would have been perfect, there were no nurfs needed anywhere.
Then the calamity started, nerfing some archetypes and buffing other in the same patch was always going to fk everything up and lead to mass debalancing over and over every patch.
The worst thing is pulse and handcannons have had about the correction they needed since then and are right where i would have put them, but everything else is now out of line where they would have been balanced if they just changed those two and left everything else.

IMO Bungie saw the player base dipping smaller and smaller so they decided to throw another carrot out there for people to grind for. It wasnt by accident that they took a big dump on the guns most everyone used. They did it on purpose so people would start grinding for pulse rifles. A lot of people before the PR buff would delete the guns all together because they were shit. Bungie knows this and by making them strong AF they knew people would grind to get them which equals more play time which equals win for bungie/activision. The 10000 + post petition requesting an auto rifle buff is still to this day being completely ignored by bungie. The "data" they used as justification to nerf autos has done a 180° turnaround by now, and they know it, but they wont address it for anything.

The whole problem is the data they used to nerf autos is rigged, the majority of players dont- never have and never will use them because they are overpowered they use them because they are lazy. 1 trigger press>all other guns and it doesnt matter how powerfull or weak they are. To confirm this you only need to measure how many people use auto firing semi auto guns against the numbers who dont, voc bad juju against other scouts and pulse for eg.
