As you said, it's how Bungie gets players to play pvp. Take away the pinnacle for three matches and all the other carrots and participation would go down significantly I would bet. It's not even worth the pinnacle for me to play it though. I sometimes did so bad, I didn't even get credit for the match towards the pinnacle. The game didn't think I was playing. As far as dealing with it, I just do without. As soon as I get a pvp required step in a quest, it gets abandoned. I've done without many things over the years, hawkmoon, last word, ace of spades and others. Don't really miss them, but I sure enjoy the game more.

    Cosigned on memory-holeing PVP requirements. About the only thing my Quest Archive has in it are abandoned Chaperone, Tommy's Matchbook, Witherhoard, Duality, Ticcu's, Cryosthesia and Lorentz gear/catalyst PVP quest steps. Would I like to have a Chaperone or the catalyst for those other weapons? Yep. Do I wish I had another way to complete them? Yes. Am I sorry I abandoned them? Not at all. I will never step foot into the wretched hive of sweat and cheatery that PVP is and don't understand the "PVP is a terrible part of the game but you should be forced to experience it just because it exists" argument. Why would I want to do an activity that is so under-supported by Bungie that a new map hasn't been released in years? I also don't understand why people support PVP requirements and then ~100% of the posts I read about it are complaints about cheating, bad balance, bad matchmaking, and toxicity, not to mention how they've messed up so many parts of PVE just to try to balance their busted game mode (duskfield was [i]fine[/i].)

    Let me add an opposite anecdote just so you can say you saw one: I love Destiny 2 PVP, to the point that I play it just to play it. I don't even need loot to do it. Not saying you should, but I genuinely enjoy PVP I'm this game.

    Yep, that's why I gave the ~100% number. Some people are built for it, and I'm glad you enjoy it; it's just not for me. So I don't complain about it (mostly; I will give feedback) and just don't participate. The very few times I've ventured in to PVP, I've been stomped so hard and fast it literally wasn't worth my time. If Bungie balanced for NPCs like me, I might go in just for some rewards. But as it stands now, I'll never get 50 guardian kills, I don't care if it's Rumble or whatever the "easy" mode is supposed to be, so I just don't bother. I don't think I have 50 guardian kills total in the years I've been playing, I'm the lowest of the low-tier, so me and the bottom 20% will just never have those weapons or catalysts.

  • Same here Guardian, as soon as I see the PVP quest step = "ABANDON IMMEDIATELY". Feel better and play much happier .

  • I haven't played pvp for pinnacles in over a year except for IB. I haven't even set foot in pvp since about a month after cross play went so badly in pvp. Now that Bungie has come out about a deal with Sony, I understand exactly what happened... Bungie prioritized PS in que so they would almost always have the advantage in case Sony reps were playing. Every platform says PS has the lag advantage, but all I hear from PS is "we get those games sometimes too". Yeah. Sometimes. On Xbox it's 90% terrible.
