It's pretty common actually (Destiny)
Basically all I'm saying is I imagine the truth lies somewhere in the middle. They probably knew to a certain degree just how overpowered it was, but they didn't suspect it to become as big a problem as it is.
That lines up with what two Bungie guys said about Ice Breaker during an interview at E3, about it was a game breaker and completely removing the ammo economy has drastic effects, and they sounded like they didn't realize those things until the players made them plain to see.
