What was the point?
This wasn't some overpowered gun, or some PvP dominator, or even a boss melting death machine, it was a thrall tickling kitten launcher. On top of that, due to a major -blam!-up, on you're end, has been 100% unacquirable for months now, and now leading up to the DLC it finally gets fixed, now everyone can actually get it and upgrade it and test it out(find out how shitty it is, despite being a end-game raid reward).
Now after all this time, you acknowledge your mistake and vow to give it the buff it deserves, only to then immediately announced it was being left behind in TTK.
So I say again... what was the point.

This decision is one of the biggest head scratchers since destiny has launched. It is a total slap in the face. (but we will take it) Offer up an exotic as the "ultimate" reward for beating a raid (Necroasm) Weapon sucks and doesn't hardly drop. Announce we will finally fix it in the new weapons balance 2.0 which coincides with TTK. Announce said weapon getting fixed will be left behind. But good news you can still use it in the Crota raid, for gathering weapons and armor that is of no use as well. It will become a "trophy" in our little blueprint kiosk, an ugly trophy at that
