[quote]Why weren’t we told about this in the first place? It sounds pretty intentional, so why not say anything about it?[/quote] We were probably told, technically. They BUFFED everything with Forsaken but just buffed Scout rifles by less, which hasn't worked out.

Umm no they really did not change the amount of damage done in PVE by that much other then to shotguns and snipers to match the new ammo economy. Generally in the patch notes apparently all primary weapons were generally the same with some slight changes but nothing major at least from what the posted that they changed. So it was a ghost change. They nerfed scout rifles in PVE because they were so prominent in PVE for console versions of the game and they probably wanted them to use something else or some other ridiculous excuse. Trust me i have been though these kinds of updates since D1 day 1 and it might sound stupid and pointless but that’s basically what bungie do. They can do a lot of good in an update but also do some pointless crap that either gets found out eventually after not telling anyone what they did or they do it for monetary gain. I have gotten used to it and im assuming their is just some guy at the bungie live team who constantly wants to piss people off despite the rest of his team working hard to fix the mistakes that the core developers made on every release of this game. Like a little goblin who hides under the desk and after the update is finished in development and everyone leaves he crawls out and adds a bunch of annoying pointless additions.

There were changes, they just aren't specific

And im telling you its not that noticeable of a difference compared to before the update. Only scout rifles started fo deal less damage. You can look up gameplay if you want before the update and hand canons, auto rifles, and pulse rifles in PVE have barely changed in kill time only scout rifles. You can show pics and links of the patch notes all you like but the actual info is not their and you can clearly see it if you played before and after the update and bungie patch notes are notorious for not telling players about all the major changes made to the sandbox. That was one of the biggest things players yelled at them about for about 5 years now is that bungie sucks at communicating granted they are way better now but you can still see for some odd reason 4 years laters they are still missing info in the patch notes and don’t tell players about the missing intentional changes until weeks after it was made and players found out themselves. Its JUST what bungie does.

I know Scout rifles have changed? That's literally the point of this WHOLE POST. BUT it does say they changed weapon damage of primaries. And like i said, scouts probably didn't change AS MUCH.
