Long time lurker here. I love PvP. The way I've always tried to play Destiny is to grind for great guns and use them against Guardians in the Crucible. I don’t Raid and I don’t do a lot of the Nightfall: Ordeals. If possible, I like to no life it in the Crucible. The sandbox and matchmaking issues are whatever to me. Sandbox wise, I'll adapt to whatever. The Matchmaking is all over the board but I don't run across many of the issues some people have. It comes down to this for me .. at the end of the day, I just want to play and be rewarded for my time spent. My biggest issue is with the Crucible is the loot. I am happy seeing the community really starting to voice their opinion about it. IMO, there are a handful of non game breaking things that Bungie could do that would help bridge the gap between now and whenever Trials or an end game activity is finally released: 1) Release a vendor refresh for Shaxx. Its time. If this is definitely not possible then how about this: A) Bring forward the remaining Year 1 weapons (sans Leviathan, Faction, & Trials of Nine) that haven't been brought forward as random rolls and stick them in the Crucible loot pool. I would grind and grind and grind for a chance at an Old Fashioned (w/ random rolls), etc. I want that same feeling I had in D1 when a Eyasluna or Matador dropped post match. B) Allow past Crucible ornaments to be universal - There are some really nice Crucible ornaments that I would love to use but I can't because the stat rolls on Crucible armor drops are so poor. At the very least allow Iron Banner armor to have the ability to equip the old Crucible ornaments. 2) Reward Valor resets with an Ascendant Shard and a PINNACLE armor piece. I think this is a very fair trade off. A) Reward Prisms for moving from Heroic - Fabled - Mythic - Legend B) Reward a 55-60 stat rolled gear for moving from Heroic-Fabled-Mythic-Legend 3) Reward Planetary Mats as post match drops based on what planet the Crucible map was played on. A) Attach Planetary Mats to Crucible daily bounties. B) Attach Cores or Prisms to Weekly Crucible bounties. Again, none of this should break the game. If stuff like this was turned into reality, I could spend every second I play Destiny in the Crucible just like I did in Destiny 1 because I would be getting rewarded for my time. I feel like that is the biggest thing missing right now. What is the point of playing Crucible outside of obtaining ritual/pinnacle weapons and seals? There isn't any. I can get over bad sandboxes and some MM issues if I know I can get loot. NOTE: I'm not including Iron Banner in this but I think Bungie needs to relax the post match drops. If I play 4-5 matches (~40-50 minutes) of IB and I don't get a single weapon or armor drop, there is a big problem.
