So Trion is making the game more balanced because there is very little variety in the bulk of player builds.
Here is a little section off the wiki entry about nerfing:
Among game developers, MMORPG designers are especially likely to nerf aspects of a game in order to maintain game balance. Occasionally a new feature (such as an item, class, or skill) may be made too powerful, unfair, or too easily obtained to the extent that it unbalances the game system. This is sometimes due to an unforeseen bug or method of using or acquiring the object that was not considered by the developers.[3][5] The frequency of nerfing and the scale of nerfing vary widely from game to game but almost all massively multiplayer games have engaged in nerfing at some point.[5]Since the Programmers place a high priority on balance,sometimes they decide to "nerf" items or abilities or skills if they are overpowered or incompatible with new content.
And what it says there seems about right trion does want to balance saws withe rest of the guns and the same with siphon on rapid fire weapons. Also it make the other guns more desirable especially since there are releasing all new weapons in the coming weeks and probably new episode missions since the series is over.
