Before I get started, I want to be clear that I'm NOT directly endorsing the design of PvP loot rewards, merely providing what I think is Bungie's logic and because it is CLEARLY a mechanic that's still bothering people. I honestly think they have PvP gear rewards totally random as a bit of a social experiment because what it does do (aside from piss people the -blam!- off) is:
1. Reward anyone, [i]regardless[/i] of skill level, for trying out PvP. Carrot meet stick...*nom nom nom*.
2. Attempt to eliminate tryhard multiplayer arguing over kill steals, KD reps, and all that dumb internet epeen measuring.
3. Attempts to make the[i] focus[/i] of the [i]gameplay[/i] the most interesting thing about the experience. Not just a [u]means to a reward.[/u]
This is why the dude that went 2 / 25 will get a shiny Exotic despite your dominant 30 / 10 massacre. Winning is rewarded via Marks and Rep, NOT loot drops in the current system.
[b]EDIT[/b]: I've been silent about a lot of the blatantly hostile misogyny and insults but trust that it's being reported. You ARE responsible for your actions and if you don't like this thread, you're not obligated to post in it. Insulting myself and others is a flagrant violation of the user agreement and code of conduct for the site.

Edited by Doom Random: 10/23/2014 6:59:59 AMGirl Gamer explains? As if proclaiming yourself a 'Girl Gamer' makes one special in any sense, which it really -blam!-ing doesn't. I play games, girls play games, small children play games, military veterans play games, old people play games. Everyone plays goddamn games. So you have a pair of tits, whoop-dee--blam!-ing-doo, i'd bake you a cookie, but im a horrible baker. You'd most likely die of sugar overdose. Personally, you could be a blue squirrel crossbred with a rhino that fired rainbows out of its ass and i wouldn't give a shit. That being said [quote]Bungie's logic[/quote] I could sooner pull a mini cooper out of my ass than find evidence of Bungie possessing anything resembling logic. [quote]This is why the dude that went 2 / 25 will get a shiny Exotic despite your dominant 30 / 10 massacre. Winning is rewarded via Marks and Rep, NOT loot drops in the current system.[/quote] Cute sentiment....except when i consistently do good and get shafted by the shit reward system, while the pair of retards on my team, who spent 10 minutes fornicating with a piece of drywall, receive exotics. [b]Edit[/b]: I see that update there. I'm not a misogynist, the only thing i hate are bits of information that add nothing to the argument or have any relevance to it. Your opinion, or information for that matter, is no more valid, or reputable, if you were female or male. [b]Edit 2[/b]: Edited Edit 1 to seem less sexist, even though the single offending word was meant as a smug reply to OP's edit comment. Sorry for hurting some people's fragile sensibilities.
