Personally I think they have done a really good job listening to the community. They have addressed many issues concerning weapon imbalance. A good team can use any gun to kill bosses. Me,Jason and Tommy ran Undying Mind using unleveled No Land Beyond and shot guns. They can buff or nerf whatever they want and it doesn't matter to me. Fixing the bugs in the raid I'd my biggest issue not weapons.
My only complaint is your old legendary weapons are quickly becoming obsolete. I wish you could upgrade them to the new damage.
Deej is a community manager not a developer. He just relays the message to is and the dev team. Think he's bad look at some of the others for other games. They are horrible. I think he does one hell of a job honestly
