Bring back OP raid weapons. I understand Bungie wants you to use different weapons but though I don't play, I understand its mostly MIDA now. So people are still only using a select few weapons at best. When I played, it was Hung Jury + 1000 YS + Ruin Wake/Qullim.
I stopped playing in November because of the KF loot not interesting me at all. I don't like the Raid weapons and gear and Heroic doesn't offer anything different. The end game is only a numbers game and I hate that. And afaik you can beat everything at sub 310 anyway. When or if Y3 hits newcomers are likely instantly 320. I also hate those time gated things. I did Sleeper, but I never finished NTTE because I quit by then.
VoG was a good Raid on itself, but I also kept playing it to get the likes of VoC, Corrective, Vex and Fatebringer. Those weapons were game changers and you couldn't buy them.
As for PvP, give me early Y1 also. AR, Fusion, Shotties, Sniper all useful tools. Red Death was a force as well (until they nerfed it to 3 burst later on, rebuffed before HoW). I enjoyed Vanquisher/Plan C combo or Suros + FV while HC worked too. Thorn took skill with its low mag and slow reload, it never needed a buff once players got the hang of it. I was surprised that Bungie still buffed it much later. If they want to bring Thorn back, revert it to launch day status.
