ZB is boring IMO. With bloom, pacing is required which limits spamming. If someone keeps pulling the trigger as fast as possible, they shouldn't have pinpoint accuracy.
Also, mock me if you will, but bloom made the game feel more organic to me. By that I mean reminding us that Spartans/Sangheili aren't robots.
Bloom doesn't work as it doesn't require pacing as anyone that was pacing would just get outshot by the person that was spamming. This was discovered about 1.5 months into the game. The only situation that you would pace your shots would be cross map. I agree with your point about accuracy but the bloom just wasn't correctly implemented into the game.
The thing with bloom, is that it involved a lot of luck because you had a bigger surface area to aim, compared to no bloom where you have a very limited area to aim to. Something a long the line of this:
|---| Bloom, |--| No bloom. How that's easy mode, I have no idea. The things that Bungie implemented into the game just don't work in this style of game. Look at it this way. Bungie took risks and it just didn't work out. Lets just leave it at that.
