Pve is always going to be the same repetitive crap. Pvp offers competitive gameplay

I think the fact that Bungie is [i]still[/i] trying to balance Crucible 2 1/2 years later should be a clear indication that Destiny's PvP has been a failed experiment. For Destiny 2, they should focus on creating a PvE masterpiece instead of the mediocre trainwreck we've ended up with. Or f#ck it, go strictly PvP. Either way. [i]This[/i] game has slowly destroyed itself due to Bungie's ineptitude for finding a balance between the two modes.

PVP is all I play, can only re run the same strikes, raids etc so many times

Destiny 2 will FAIL super hard. It could actually END Bungie. Let's think about this. Year 1, day 1. TONS OF PEOPLE bought the game. It had enormous initial sales. People bought the expansions at launch and were locked in. Tons of those people left without even playing Crota. More people left before HoW. By HoW, mostly only fairly dedicated players stayed. Even some of those people left during HoW never to return. That trend continues and continues. I don't know anyone who left the game pissed off about something. The casuals didn't get what they wanted upon release and they moved on quickly. They'll likely NOT buy a sequel. The die hards stayed and most of us that did (for a time) had something piss us off. My line in the sand was the shoulder charge nerf. That shit was ridiculous. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. Bungie's gonna get a wake up call with D2, you watch and see. They'll be ancient history of their behavior continues much longer. They've all but destroyed Destiny's brand on all fronts. A few Desticles will buy it, sure. Not enough to break even though. Calling that shit now.

I think it should only be PVP. I don't want to spend hours in patrol collecting material or sitting down waiting during a raid cause somebody has to go smoke a cigarette

I agree that the game needs to be more PVE oriented, but in order for it to be more PVE oriented. However, we need to accept a few things before we can do this: 1. We need to accept that the amount of PVE content Bungie can produce in any given production cycle (1 year maximum per their contract with Activision which requires paid-for content every year) is going to be relatively limited in comparison with the demands of the players. 2. Because PVE content will be limited, we need to accept that there will be some repetitive/cyclical play. This means we may be rerunning strikes, although perhaps with different modifiers, etc. to put a new spin on it. And that is fine. 3. In order to incentivize us to repeatedly run content (particularly ENDGAME content like the raid and nightfall) we also need to accept that the rewards for those pieces of content MUST be better than what you could get elsewhere. If this is not true, then you have no incentive to repeatedly run that content. 4. In order for endgame to give top-tier loot, that necessarily means that there needs to be fewer quests for the top-tier guns. Quests for guns are good, but you can't questify the BEST guns in the game or you ruin incentive to do anything harder than a normal strike. Even if Raid Gear is elite tier like it was in Y1, when you have ALL of the raid gear, you still did the raid to chase down elite level exotics. Basically, they need to go back to how things were in Y1. Y1 wasn't perfect, and it was inaccessible, but what they did in Y2 to make it "accessible" wasn't the right answer either. They just made everything super easy/super easy to get, and they didn't leave anything great for RNG to drop. They watered down the quality of raid gear to make people who couldn't raid feel like they weren't missing out, which is just dumb IMO. Quality of rewards need to scale with the difficulty of the content so that doing the endgame content rewards the best stuff in the game. So just restore the basic principals of Y1, and do the following to fix the accessibility issues: 1. Implement optional matchmaking for ALL content. I emphasize: OPTIONAL. Also toss in in-game LFG, recruitment boards - the whole litany of ideas proposed to help get guardians without regular teams connected. 2. Allow ALL gear to carry forward. This is necessary because casuals likely won't be able to get all the elite endgame gear until they can OVERlevel and run that content without a full fireteam or when that content is relatively easier due to being higher level. This allows hardcore players to get the elite endgame gear first, but casuals will eventually be able to get it without having that gear be obsolete. Fair enough, IMO, given the disparity in the amount of time/effort the respective groups are putting into the game. 3. Allow for max light outside of the raid. This is a good move because PVE content outside of the raid needs to do a better job of getting people ready to actually take on the endgame content. Max light doesn't even guarantee that they will be ready to take on the raid (at least at a strategic level), but it at least means they will be less of a liability for an LFG group. 4. if RNG is particularly stingy and people still aren't getting items after 80-100 runs of trying, then the answer is to increase the drop frequency (drop percentages) to be more favorable to the player. Don't questify it just to make it easy to get. RNG is RNG. Sometimes it loves you and sometimes it hates you. You have to take the good with the bad. Like it or not, RNG provides us with the incentive to repeatedly run content. If they did this, we would essentially be back at Y1, when the game was in its most fun state, but they will have done everything humanly possible to address the REAL issues of Y1- rather than just make the game easy mode. While we are on the subject, Strikes and the Nightfall need to work like they did in Y1. Guaranteed Coins for completing the Heroic (mini-nightfall), Glowing flame head for the nightfall, which boots you back to orbit when you have a full team wipe, and the ability to select a strike on the map and run it at any difficulty level you want.

I take exception to your use of the word "[b]Maybe[/b]. Destiny 2 [b]SHOULD[/b] be [b]A LOT MORE PVE[/b] focused.

Oh I remember the good old days when the crucible was just something extra on the side in Destiny that you could almost avoid completely if you wanted to. But now they force us to enter the cricible to get the extra rewards. All the nerfs/buffs that have been made to this game have been crucible orientated cant think of anything that had people in pve complaining besides the nerfs.
