I think the reason PVP was good in pre release, was because you weren't using Legendaries that made the gun powerful. It's the perks that are unbalanced and not always the gun. I think that they wanted people to have enough strange coins for something necessary rather than having 1000s and being able to have everything. And also because they want you to play all of the game and not come on to do 2 end game activities and a weekly. Which I can agree with.
