I love this game, I really do...
I've been: playing since day 1, using the forum since day 1, and helping others since about December. Most would consider me an elite player, the one who receives rage messages in response to how well he plays in the crucible. Well, I'm done.
[spoiler]Until Bungie steps their game up[/spoiler]
This community is the next worst thing to the league of legends community. We scream for buffs and nerfs, while Bungie doesn't listen; or simply ignores our pleas. We ask for certain aspects, post ideas, and banter amongst ourselves in response to the community manager's rebuttals. How do we put up with this neglect, and lack of respect? We are pretty much beta testers for the the next installment of the Destiny saga, and we follow Lord Bungie like a flock of sheep, millions strong.
You all probably think I'm preaching to the choir, or bitching at a wall, but I'm about to list some serious issues that Bungie has either: Partially addressed, or ignored. Also bear with me, the stuff I would see buffed comes after.

[b]The Crucible[/b] Forced down our throats like a d1ck in a brothel. The following are issues that I hold dear.
[u]Over Powered and Overused Weapons[/u]
Thorn
TLW
Hawkmoon
Assorted shotguns (felwinters, matador, partycrasher...)
Final round snipers
[spoiler]Mythoclast was going to be in there, but it was nerfed last patch.[/spoiler]
[u]Over Powered Supers (crucible only)[/u]
Golden gun
Nova bomb
Self res (only stupid in trials)
Fist of havoc
[spoiler]Golden gun is pretty much 3-4 free kills. Nova bomb is a ranged fist of havoc. Fist of havoc is... fist of havoc. Self res is self explanatory.[/spoiler]
[u]Underused and Underpowered Weapons[/u]
Almost all scout rifles
All auto rifles
Fusion rifles
Necrochasm [spoiler]lol[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Buff buff buff![/spoiler]
[u]UnderPowered supers[/u]
Arcblade
Ward of dawn
[spoiler]Arc blade is just too easy to kill. Ward of dawn should be indestructible, but people on the inside vulnerable to nova bomb and FoH [/spoiler]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[u]PvE [/u]
Generally ignored by Bungie in favor of PvP. Certain aspects need to be fixed, such as: UnderWhelming supers, UnderWhelming weapons, and a general ignorance towards problems.
[u]UnderWhelming Supers[/u]
Golden Gun (absolute trash in PvE, despite it's PvP supremacy.
ArcBlade (only useful against garbage ads)
[u]UnderWhelming Weapons[/u]
Thorn
TLW
Fusion rifles
[spoiler]Separate the PvP and PvE buffs/nerfs[/spoiler]
Please comment, like, or even dislike if you feel the need.

Okay, the BIGGEST problem with Crucible will ALWAYS be the latency and shit connectivity. The constant whining for nerfs is absolutely ABSURD at this point, because at least TWO weapon categories (Auto Rifles and Fusion Rifles) have been literally NERFED INTO TOTAL OBSCURITY. [b]When a class of weapon is overly nerfed, players will NATURALLY move on to the next best thing.[/b] In reality the nerf-herders are the BIGGEST shot in the foot to this game. The constant complaining about whatever happens to kill them, with NO credibility other than, "WAAAH! It's overused! I die to it too much!" ensures that the Crucible's ROOT ISSUE of lag NEVER gets fixed, while AMPLIFYING THAT PROBLEM with Bungie's nerfing extremes. It's hard enough to get a kill through the God-awful lag, and when combined with the ridiculous over-nerfing of Fusion Rifles and ARs, it makes getting a kill next to impossible in the first place! In reality, all they REALLY have to do, is bring ARs back up to HALF of what they were (basically undo the second AR patch), fix the latency, and raise player health by, say, 10-15 percent.
