Wasn’t the statement by the Marvel exec more or less in support of the diversity of characters, and was just pointing out that the “fan response” has been negative, but that wont deter them from continuing their efforts?

This. You’re being nice about it jason but the reality is destiny 1 is currently in fuck city. Everything has been nerfed to death in the name of balance, which we still don’t have.

Nah, I actually think this is what most players want. Current Destiny is a mess in terms of balancing, economy, leveling, and pretty much everything involving gear.
