I'd like to start out on a positive note. The game mechanics are as solid as any Bungie title I've played. The game was built well, and popping guys domes doesn't get old. But what keeps me from recommending it to friends, and playing it over Minecraft or Battlefield, is the lack of accomplishment. I included a link to a montage [http://youtu.be/X3CFIYKGKpc] I made of me playing crucible to show that I'm not just a whiney wet pants who lacks the skills needed to enjoy it. I very much enjoy crucible, but I find myself feeling empty after playing. It doesn't matter that I go 30-5. It doesn't matter if I win or lose. It doesn't matter if I participate in any aspect within a match. All that matters is that I finish matches. Attrition is king. Sure, winning will accelerate getting crucible marks, but not significantly. There is no reward for being a crucible BAMF. No ranking system that allows for progression or accomplishment. The only thing to look forward to is a "random" exotic drop. I'm convinced that the game actually rewards the players who perform the worst in order to boost confidence and make them feel like they don't actually suck huevos. Attrition based rewards make me not want to play the game at all. I don't have much free time with a wife and two kids. (And number three on the way!) Frustration fills my heart because no amount of skill can make up for time played. And the only way to get max level is to hope and pray it drops in a raid? Even with a game mode that allows level advantages, Iron Banner, there is no end result of satisfaction. What do you obtain by winning? Gear? Weapons? Logos? For what?!? Just to have them? So you can progress in a game mode which you have already progressed in? Give me a reason, Bungie. Give me a goal to obtain that has lasting satisfaction. A performance based goal. An end result that after a night of gaming I can feel accomplished. Bounties aren't enough. Bounties should be a side task, not a main objective. Originally Crucible had intrigue because I was a young pup with nothing but blue weapons. But now that I have only exotics and legendaries I find myself seeking a purpose. I have the gear, but no reason to use it. -Xerxes222
