that is what they should do but they don't. since shortly after release bungie has tried hard to push pve players towards pvp. what's the point of making ppl grind to rank 5 in iron banner if they don't enjoy it? stats, marketing, target practise for those that do enjoy it. and then, of course, there is development cost. pvp maps are cheap compared to pve content, especially if you want it to not feel repetitive. so they take the easy route and just reward pvp so richly that you have no choice, really. and they're backed by the halo fanboys of course, no surprise there. and the tone and general pve vs pvp attitude on this forum shows it quite clearly. i wish ppl would be a bit more tolerant when it comes to preferences about how to play the game and what actvities to participate in. but i suppose intolerance and ignorance are kind of the nature of the beast, are they not? in a way they have to be important characteristics of a good pvp player, no? and just therein lies the innate hostility of the pvp mindset vs the pve mindset that has a very different view on the game and it's various mechanics.
