While I agree it's annoying at times I don't think they should nerf it. Maybe go with the ar buff but even if not I'm fine the way it is. I'm ok at iron banner without it. I hold my own with the red death. The ar buff would just be nice because not everyone has all the exotics so you may not have the red death or hard light or even multi tool to compete with the thorn. And that sucks because anyone can do the thorn bounty. I think the best solution is to buff ar and then start having xur sell exotic bounties for some of the other old exotics.
