How exactly does Bungie even want us to play this game? (Destiny)

The funny thing about the AR or Shotgun nerf is I don't think anyone would have even really noticed if they had just said "balanced weapons." The ARs feel pretty much the same, the only difference you'll find is it's SLIGHTLY easier to kill someone with an AR at range with a different primary. And as someotherguy has said, even the Shotgun range nerf is a misnomer since you can still kill a fully shielded enemy at the same range as before, you just can't pick off weak players from as far.

That said, it is an ever changing game. These kinds of changes happen constantly in online-only games, just go talk to any MMO or MOBA player. Even with the changes Luke talks about the changes are incredibly minimal compared to your average MMO or MOBA. And on a similar vein, a nerf in those kinds of online games (or my favorite: TF2) meant your favorite OP weapon turned into a wet noodle. A "nerf" in Destiny means barely noticeable adjustments.
