Question (Destiny)

by rliebherr , St. Louis, Missouri, Thursday, September 25, 2014, 17:37 (3521 days ago) @ UnrealCh13f

How did these changes not get made prior to retail release? I know they made changes based on feedback from the Beta. I'm not griefing Bungie, I'm genuinely curious as to how something like this happens. It took the players all of 6 days to realize the ARs and Shotguns were OP, while the other weapons were useless in PvP. How does something like that make it through internal testing which, I presume, went on for months or years?
