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

As far as the quality of the raid weapons, making the guns so underwhelming is a poor way to encourage infusing, IMO. If they'd made the raid guns inherently exciting, all of us raiders would have some cool new guns to use. Infusion-fodder would be the consolation prize. "I got my 3rd raid scout rifle, but that's cool because I can still use it for infusion".

Oh, I don't disagree with that at all, but I feel like they wanted to make sure people weren't unwilling to infuse raid gear. They just took it too far.

I do like that all of the Raid weapons have Cocoon, and it would make the Raid a neat experience to roll with all Cocoon weapons and never reload, just switch between primary and secondary as needed. But that one perk isn't good enough to make the weapons actually good or fun to use, so I'll never have that experience.

It was a neat concept and thought, though.
