I think instead of making the game easier so casuals can have a better time playing it, they made it easier for casuals to reach the hard missions. For example, casuals don't have time to grind for a god roll Palindrome, so Bungie made set rolls so casuals can just get the gun and know it will be viable. It puts them on an even playing field against hardcore players (at least gun wise).

As a, more than casual but not hardcore player, I have to agree with you 100%. Why should I/we have the same weapon/armour as those that put way more effort into the game.. I may be blessed with a God roll weapon from RNGesus every now and again but whining that I'm getting my ass handed to me by someone with a better weapon is ludicrous...and expecting the same weapon just for 'showing up' is even more asinine. You want endgame prizes, you gotta grind.
