When I first started playing Destiny, especially the Crucible, I expected great things... Four weeks later and two updates, I am still appalled. My first rounds in the Crucible were with a few lvl 10's or 15's and below with a few at lvl 30. At that point I became very frustrated with the Crucible since I did not have the selection of gear that the higher levels did. When I hit lvl 15 and upgraded my fusion rifle I began to notice a slight improvement, coupled with a better auto rifle I seem to be able to compete with lvl 20's to 25's. Now at lvl 27 myself, prior to the update, I could keep up with the best of them, even though I do not have have any exotic gear. The lvl 30's with the exotic weapons could walk over me, but I could dish it out almost just as much. Subsequent to this update, still with no exotic weapons or gear, I can't take out a lvl 30 out unless I sniped him from across the map and he/she did not see me. A SEVERE weapon an armor unbalance remains in the Crucible, possibly worse than before. The matchmaking is absolutely horrendous and there needs to be a true REVAMP of the dynamics. Character lvl, armor stored in inventory, and weapons in inventory need to be considered and players need to be matched accordingly. Yes, the exotic weapons have their place and purpose; however, a player should not get dominated because he doesn't have access to the same resources. Where is the sport in that? If these issues and matchmaking formulas don't get resolved, I am afraid Bungie is going to find many people walk away from the Crucible, if not Destiny all together. As it currently sits, the multiplayer gameplay is... lacking is a nice way to put it.
