But PvE players have the options, if avoiding PvP at all, is to buy the Gear they want and leveling them. Given that Rares and Legendary gear required materials usually found during patrols, the PvE players can do all of this without ever playing PvP, but PvP players have to play PvE at some point to level their gear. It also seems like all the gear, no matter the vendor is all the same for the most part. So while drops are nice, it makes more sense from Bungie's standpoint to make the better gear available mainly through purchases that require the user to play more.

On the one hand, you are correct in that you cannot fully level up an item using PvP alone. On the other hand, the only thing that a weapon gains use from outside of Iron Banner is the perks that the weapon has, so leveling up attack and defense (both of which require world resources at their highest levels) is immaterial to the PvP experience unless one wants to participate in the Iron Banner. I look at Iron Banner, however, as the PvP version of the Vault of Glass. A cute addition, but only for those who play more hard-core outside of their preferred playstyle. Of course, having said that, it is easier to meet the requirements for the Iron Banner than it is the Vault of Glass, so once again, PvP has the advantage.
