PVP: everyone have same weapon of each category everyone have one type of armor (same type of course) This way there will be no wining from players about OP weapons and it will save Bungie alot of work because they dont have to adjust EVERY weapon to do same dmg like they do now PVE : Give everyone armor that makes you Level 30 Give everyone same weapon with same dmg This makes it easier for players that have planned to spend hundreds of hours trying to get the "Spesial gear" some time because then at least they know there will be a hand out to everyone after a few weeks anyway, this is time that now can be used on other games Why bother having diffrent weapons when they all do same dmg overall, more time saved for Bungie to fix other stuff or even add more content And for last, why do PvP players even want Level 30 armor? It's not like it help them in any way at all. But it will give PvP played advantage if they go to PvE because they dont have to do all the work to go through the first Raid to be strong enough for the next Raid in the DLC
