Yeah, exotic weapon balance is PvP's real problem. (Destiny)

And my original contribution was that I am killed by Thorn regularly, and by Legendary HCs non-regularly.

Thorn is probably more common than a comparable Legendary hand cannon. That's the only reason I think. The vendor hand cannons are not the greatest for crucible right now, and I'm not sure how many people hung on to their TDYKs or their Lord High Fixers. You need a good drop with the hand cannons that you can get now.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've been killed by a Thunderlord, but that doesn't mean it's no good.

3 posts ago, you said there's no reason to use Thorn, because "any other hand cannon" was just as good.

Now you tell me that the reason people are using it is because it's more common than any "comparable" hand cannon. (Which is tautalogical, but whatever.)

Make up your mind - what are you arguing? That Thorn is no better than "any other hand cannon", or that Thorn is no better than "comparable" hand cannons, which are so rare as to be irrelevant?
