Sounds like you got the point, you get something for leveling up. As for the loot drops, remember this... You don't look into another man's bowl, except to make sure he has enough. Offering rewards to only winners, will absolutely destroy Crucible. Don't act like people in any PvP game are fair and looking for a fun and even fight... It's a random loot drop, you get a chance for playing, not winning. I'll play for 30 minutes to an hour on a strike for 1 loot drop and Crucible players are getting 4-8 loot drops. You get more chances and at better loot in Crucible. Besides, I don't hear complaining about when you do get a legendary or exotic drop, only when someone else did, and you didn't. That's not the most mature way of presenting yourself, I would suggest... Luck mate!
