Is anyone else experiencing "New Gear Bottleneck"? (Destiny)

Now a lot of this does come down to personal preference, but I don't think it is a stretch to say that overall, the current batch of Raid and Trials weapons are the worst set of end-game rewards we've had in Destiny. They certainly aren't the lust-worthy trophies they should be, if you ask me.

I think that's very intentional. They knew infusion is going to be important to getting that light level up, and they didn't want people to be afraid of dumping their high attack raid weapons into lower level weapons.

I definitely don't feel like I'm losing anything by dumping a 307 raid auto rifle into my Hung Jury, whereas there is no way in hell I would infuse a Fatebringer into anything unless I got really lucking and had a few of them.
