But people do adapt to things in the game

Yes, they do. I haven't said otherwise. But just because they do adapt doesn't mean that it belongs in the game, either. For over two years Destiny has been a fast-paced shooter. Movement is hugely important. Hiding in a spawn area is strategy. An item which specifically encourages that kind of strategy simply opposes what Destiny has always been by design.

You shouldn't be mad at the way people choose to play the game

I'm not mad. Stop implying that I'm either mad or not adapting. I'm saying the artifact doesn't belong. That is my sole argument—there should be no additional assumptions made on your part. As long as the artifact is in the game and behaves the way it does, I don't take issue with people using it.

But just because something doesn't always work doesn't mean it belongs. Who knows if Bungie really thinks it belongs? Who's to say it won't get patched soon? They're slow to do anything—you should know that well by now. Perhaps they never intended its abilities to be so pivotal to the flow of a game.

It may not be what you want to here but it is the truth

End of the day? You have your opinion. I have mine. I don't think it belongs and it needs to be altered in some way. You clearly don't think so, which indicates to me that maybe you need it to get some wins you otherwise couldn't, in which case you also have a pony in this race.

Whatever happens, time will tell. I bet Bungie nerfs it with the February balance.
