You are correct. This started with the house of wolves and continues. I have tried to adapt. It isn't great. It also only gets worse ad those of us who are pve related most closely use the year two weapons. We have to to get things done in pve but take these pieces of junk into the crucible against the year one weapons that most crucible hounds cling to and you have even less of a chance. Their system is a complete disaster even though they are constantly trying to fix it. And all of those fixes of this broken pvp system are at the expense of what that is right the pve players.
