So, if you watched the video you can see that Bungie is being an absolute jackass. He says " We've updated Destiny since the game shipped 30+ times to players" And with the statement comes a facial expression basically saying "Uhgg too much work to patch" Its YOUR FAULT BUNGIE! YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO PATCH! And in his other comment he says "We want to continue to change the scales on how things are" while raising and lowering his hands. NO, YOU NEED TO MAKE THOSE HANDS EVEN WITH EACH OTHER! With this final comment from the interview you will see the most absurd comment yet "Things come in and out of fashion, auto rifles where really in-fashion when the game shipped. And now there not being used very widely. We want to continue to tilt the scales, Like the rise of the exotic hand cannon where aware, where aware of it too, and we wanna, we wanna make sure that like, every, every weapon archetype has its age" SO BASICALLY WHAT HES SAYING IS THAT THEY ARE PURPOSELY KEEPING THESE EXOTIC HAND CANNONS OVERPOWERED! AND ITS NOT JUST THE EXOTIC HAND CANNONS! Im assuming they did the same with auto rifles and fusion rifles and pulse rifles! THEY HAVE BEEN KEEPING THESE WEAPONS OVERPOWERED BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY NEED TO HAVE EACH WEAPON TYPE HAVE A TREND! This is absolutely ridiculous...............

Well it's nearly impossible to make every archtype equal in terms of scaling damage, overall damage, etc. So by the Bungie train of thought this means the next best thing is to ensure every archtype gets its day in the sun. Better than some alternatives.
