Not my words, those of the Bungie lead pvp designer, Mantis:

It's attitudes like that which make me throw money at the screen
Edit:
Another thread in #Destiny, started before mine about the same tweet, if people want to see others thoughts, and share their ideas their too:

Edited by Sideswipe: 10/26/2016 6:36:31 AMAs a dev, you should [i]always[/i] put your players in a position to succeed. That's what brings people back. Games can be challenging and difficult, but if the players can't get past level 5 because it's just too damn hard, guess what? They'll play something else. This is what happened in Y2, hence the Gold Bounty being able to be farmed since the April Update. And this notion of Pros vs Joes astounds me. Why is video game PvP the [i]only [/i]place where people deem it appropriate? Would you be ok with 5th graders playing against 8th graders? Nope. Parents would break out the pitchforks. If they want [i]actual[/i] endgame competition, either pit the Best vs Best and Joes vs Joes (with appropriate rewards), or don't let Joes play it. Putting your customers in a position to fail is putting yourself in a position to fail.
