This is the best post I've read since the nurf and I agree with everything. The PVP fanboy posts below hating on the post are typical. Get this haters in the history of MMO both PVP and PVE cannot be balanced together it's just not possible. Bungie should have a load balancing effect on gear. Standard crucible should have damage debuffs applied so that there is no >max output. Each weapon type should have one. And events which advertise 'POWER MATTERS' like the Iron Banner shouldnt. Where as PVE should have its increased output. The whole point of raiding is progression, have a blast with mates and acquire the most sought after loot in the game. Become LEGEND!!! It's the whole selling point right. Raid ... Gear up and then complete the end game content! The events and patches/hot fixes are a joke to say the least. The "we need to sow rainbows and try to keep everyone happy" approach they are using is clearly not working. Hopefully there will be some good news from Bungie soon. It's getting boring FAST.
