Destiny: Wot I think (Destiny)

The bar graphs display a percentage for each weapon. That's not how much it's being lowered, but how powerful relative to par it is. So if you switch to Legend and it says "Machine gun, -33%", that doesn't mean your gun is being lowered by a third, it means that Bungie thinks your gun is ⅔ as powerful as it should be in order to perform comfortably on that difficulty.

You can be on Legend and have it display positive percentages, meaning you are more powerful than you need to be.

That UI could definitely be clearer. The percentages are completely unexplained in-situ; I actually thought they meant something else entirely different!
