Luke Smith has stated that y1 weapons were made too strong by mistake and they're attempting to balance them out in y2 so there's more variety hence no primary elementals. And with the way this forum talks to Bungie on a HOURLY basis Deej's comment is nice compared to what I would say in his situation lol. And it's not the community that's losing interest. You're referring to the forum. Which we all know is a fraction of the community as a whole. In fact I know that a lot of positive players stay OUT of the forums cause they know how nasty it is. If you see a drop in your friends list it's not because of lost interest in Destiny. It's because 3 awesome games came out (Halo 5,Black Ops 3,Fallout 4) and more are coming. I, myself will be playing Fallout, but it doesn't mean I'm leaving Destiny.
