It's true. Weapon nerfs are a direct result of Trials. Most of us were happy with most of the weapons that got nerfd. They're ruining weapons(and supers) for the rest of us. Your PVP/PVE experience is being negatively affected to keep trials participants happy.

Wrong. Massive Nerfs have happened long before Trials came out, and if you seriously think that Thorn, PRs or the hammer of soll weren't even bigger problems in 6vs6, you are kidding yourself.

And I am glad that you did! However my "wrong" was simply directed at the comment of balancing happening especially for/because of trials. Trials is only a small part of the Crucible and definitely neither the focus of the community nor of the balancing team.
