[quote]You are crack on. The individual gun nerfs were PvP related, but the wholesale rendering of all year one weapons and gear to worthless? No one wanted that, there was no hew and cry. That was Bungie course correcting and a complete reversal of DeeJ's own words. Not that we are not used to that...
Seriously, point to any post that complained about field scout, firefly, or the variety of gun perks we had. Final round? Sure. Shot package and range finder? Sure.
Where did anyone post, "I sure wish Nightfall rewards would be removed, the XP bonus and great weapon drops!"?
Where did anyone post, "You know, people do these old raids too much. If only there was some way to make the year one content completely irrelevant..."?
Where did anyone post, "I'm tired of playing the old stuff. I wish they would paywall or close off entirely large pieces of the game..."?
Place the blame where it belongs - squarely in the lap of a group of "developers" who are quickly gaining a reputation for unerringly making decisions which make their "MMO" more confined, restricted, and less fun with each "addition".[/quote]
I agree- this man has literally summed up the devs and this game as a whole.

You're beating a dead horse, bro. In the end, I'm glad they did that. It forced me to use completely new gear, and kept things interesting. It forces you to adapt. You must move on, or be left behind. If you can't and/or don't want to, than you probably shouldn't do any endgame activities As for the field scout nerf, nobody asked for it. However, I remember reading in the patch notes that it had something to do with those perks never really sacrificing something, but still giving a lot in return. They were very important perks that altered the gameplay of the entire gun in some circumstances.
