Wake Up And Smell The Easy Mode

"M-m-muh weapons" He cried as his favorite weapons were nerfed. You guys do realize why Bungie is making everything (apart from a few exotics) UN-upgradable? They're essentially wiping the guns clean and it's OUR fault. Still using that old sniper from TDB that has final round? Not anymore. Still cheesing bosses and being an elitist about Gjallarhorn? Nope. Playing Crucible easy mode and getting the highest K/D in Crucible because Thorn? You wish. Blink Shotgunning your way to victory? R.I.P. Scrub. Destroying Sepiks, Walkers, Archon Priest, Atheon, etc with Black Hammer and Ice Breaker? Get outta here. [b]Am I guilty of these things? Of course I am.[/b] Is it my fault? Kinda. I use these tactics and weapons, I'm at fault for being a scrub. I blame others for elitism, but us as a community are to blame for that as well. I mostly blame Bungie for making such OP weapons and then taking their time to nerf them. Taking a lot of time too. Thorn has been dominating for quite some time now. On top of that, you can still glitch Thorn (Never done that before, but was blamed for doing so) Am I salty? A little. Playing against a team of all Thorn is kinda frustrating. Some Hopscotch here and there, but not too bad. I'm so hyped for weapons patch 2.0 and for our weapons to be mostly useless in TTK. Hopefully Bungie won't screw up this time and make a certain gun the next Gjallarhorn. [u]-Opinions are opinions, if you think I'm bad at Destiny and I should kill myself or something similar to that, okay. That's your opinion-[/u] [b]EDIT:[/b] Hey guys, criticism is great and all, but if you feel that I'm wrong in any way, please point out why, don't just insult me. I promise if you pose an argument to mine in a reasonable and sensible manner, I will reply back and maybe even agree with your points and admit defeat. Calling me names doesn't get you anywhere and I'll end up ignoring you.

    There will always be another Gjallarhorn, and another Thorn. This is the cycle of weapon development. And what Bungie terms as balanced will always come under scrutiny when it hits the community. Again, that's just the natural development lifecycle within a video game. But we the players don't help matters. All those elitists out there going "you cant do X raid unless you have Y weapon". Why the -blam!- not? Do you think the first people to tackle the raid had Y weapon, and level 34? No they bloody didn't. What you want is an easy ride without a challenge, so you ask for everyone to have Gjallarhorn or IceBreaker because you cant be bothered to undergo the challenge that is the white knuckle raid as it was designed. I've still yet to do any end game content, Skolas, Atheon, Crota. Why? Because I cant be arsed battling against the majority of elitists out there who wont let me run with them because my Gjallarhorn isn't upgraded. Honestly, if it was I'm the type of person that wouldn't bloody use it anyway just to argue a point. Exotic weapons should always be awesome, beautiful and powerful. Whats the point of them being exotic if they aren't? What needs to change here is not the way in which Bungie develop a gun, or the way in which they nerf them, its the way in which the community adopt a stupid attitude because people don't have that gun. I'm happy for a weapon, or a number of weapons to be classed the best weapons out there, weapon balance or not. I just wish the community would stop being so elitist about weapons, because that is what ruins the game, not what Bungie do. Out with the old, in with the new. Bring on new weapons, I'll happily leave everything I've worked hard for over the last 12 months in the vault. Where's the challenge otherwise.
