Changing Bounty on Exotic Weapon = Torqued off Player

Right... so... I have this bounty for a "Depleted Hand Cannon" Which dropped after a strike on the Moon... and then required a slew of Hive to be defeated on the moon. Then after the Hive were defeated... the Bounty changed to a PvP bounty... requiring Void damage. There's a difference between a [i]Challenge[/i] and [i]Pissing The Player Off[/i]. This is square on the side of: [i]How to Piss Your Player Base Off[/i]. As the character in game... I have no weapons that enable void damage. So if I wanted to pursue this exotic weapon I now have to either spec into and level a subclass with Void Damage; buy a weapon with Void Damage; or hope a weapon with void damage drops that is not a complete downgrade from the weapons I already have. As a character then If I wanted to pursue this bounty I have now have to leave my bounty inventory cluttered up until I am in a position to potentially fulfill the bounty. As an average player... I do not engage in the PvP. I have no interest in the PvP. I do not take any of the PvP bounties offered by the Bounty Vendor. I automatically abandon every single PvP bounty given by the in-game mailing system. As a player I now have to question whether or not other Exotic Weapon bounties will also suddenly change bounty types mid-progress. If, as a player, I am locked out of obtaining a specific class of items because I do not want to play a part of the game that I do not enjoy, I am far more likely to go find a different game to play. In turn far less likely to spend any further money on future Destiny releases. As a game reviewer.. Switching a higher-level reward chain from a PvE/Co-Operative base to a PvP base mid progress is [b]BAD GAME DESIGN[/b]. This is the kind of basic design failure that gets whole numbers chopped off of review scores; right up there with a PC game release launching on Windows and skipping Linux; or leaving the Xbox User-Interface prompts in non Xbox platform releases. As somebody leaving feedback... there probably is no method exposed by which the existing Bounty can be converted into a PvE/Co-Op reward chain. I'll probably deal with having to go participate in PvP just to see what the progress on the bounty looks like.
