What are people REALLY moaning about?

It doesn't take a genius to see that some people are never satisfied. But clearly something is not right. This is pretty long but I've summarised it at the bottom Firstly, Destiny as a community is an extremely different group than most other games. A vast majority of players keep up to date with the latest hot fixes, changes. So many people use the Destiny App or Bungie online that all the information is available. This creates a huge amount of the community who know what "storm" is coming and they will know how to gain an advantage from each update. Secondly, Bungie seem to be listening to people. This is a problem. Yes, some guns are Meta, some guns are so obviously more useful (not better) than others. But the community is at fault. Since the first time I logged onto Bungie.net and saw the many topics, I could see that people moan. So so much! Its the same with anything, if you get masses of people who are upset, at some point, the ones in charge will listen. (they don't want to lose players) Thirdly, when these updates come around, even "good" players are thrown. There's a shift in power from the minority of good/smart players because of the new tactical changes needed. For example, (even though I'm not too good) when everyone was sniping, I'd utilise the parts of the map that didn't see much play and I'd use my grenades as more of a means to move the opposition rather than kill. With the recent changes, people need to adjust how they play. Which brings me onto my next point. Lastly, and probably most importantly, people DONT LIKE CHANGE! There's always going to be people who benefit most from changes, but take sidearms for example, I know people who mained them before the update. But don't want to use them now. Not because they don't want to seem like a "scrub", but because of the reason they chose them to begin with. Different people choose weapons based on different things (the map, the opponents, what's "meta", what other people are using, to challenge their game, to be different, or simply because of their play style). And the majority of people who chose sidearms pre-update either wanted to be different to begin with, wanted a challenge, or it suits their play style more than other specials. These people should be on the receiving end of the power shift, instead they feel "forced" to change, to not be part of this new meta. In conclusion, the stupid people in our community are wanting a change because they "get killed too much with ####", this outcry then amplifies when more people complain. Bungie hear this and decide to change it to make #### less useful and other guns more useful. The smart members of the community find what will be the new meta, and utilise this to their advantage. People notice the change in power and conform to the new meta... Then the process repeats. [spoiler]This process will never stop, because people who want an advantage, will never get it over better players[/spoiler] Do you think Destiny can be saved? Do you think it can really ever be "balanced"?
