I have roughly 950 Crucible matches under my belt at this point, so I feel qualified to assess the rewards for PvP. My assessment: they are terrible. Issues (1) good things are exceedingly rare, so rare in fact that I have basically given up on even thinking they will occur and it has sapped a lot of my interest in Destiny's Crucible; (2) Crucible is PURE RNG, which according to a poll I ran, is favoured by very few Destiny Players; please institute conditional probabilities where the chances of a good drop improve under certain conditions (maybe top half of each team). t could still be RNG, but with just that tiny little bit of a bonus for performing well. (3) Please add energy and shards to the PvP loot table.

A surprisingly good post, good job op

I got thunderlord from skirmish.

You should play crucible for fun not rewards
-
Yeah and fix how shitty players get better loot than top players. It's called reward for a reason

Edited by Sauron: 3/14/2015 3:43:35 AMThese 2 guys did 500 crucible and 100 Iron Banner matches each. Talk about experience there. I think everyone should be guaranteed a drop, even a common auto rifle. But the thing is with crucible, it retains the grinding of PvE too. And for marks you have play at least 34 games if you won ALL of them. It's just a grindfest, like a gay orgy. That's the way it's programmed.

Blah blah blah

No need for Energy or Shards, but otherwise good post OP. Hope the thread is seen by important people.

2 could be tweaked like...positive kdr bonus.

Disagree with point 3 only because I'm so sick and tired of ascendant materials, I have hundreds and they drop everywhere. Don't need them dropping in crucible as well.

Shameless self-bump.

I only go on pvp to -blam!- around. It's the most broken aspect of the game. It's worse then nightfalls. 1. It's an rng chance of even getting item first off. 2. I for one have never seen an exotic drop. 3. Only seen 1 legendary engram and 1 ship. 4. Bottom of the scoreboard is a guaranteed spot to receive the best reward. 5. Bounties are a joke. 6. The lag is worse then crota and the minotaur from vog combined. 7. You get shit crucible points for winning. 8. Iron banner scrubs. 9. People think it's a competitive thing. 10. Half of it has no balance to it. The other half is balanced to damn well that a lvl 1 with a randy gun can out gun anyone. 11. Yes I know iron banner, but why do I want to play crucible with non stop try hards? I rarely play pvp as is.

Energy and shards are the last thing I want added. Double the marks & rep per match, make the bounties less ridiculous. Armor experience is good, but weapon experience is terrible, and you need way more glimmer and upgrade materials per match to make it worthwhile IMO. 10 buckshot bruisers, really? That takes forever, and it incentivizes the gimmicky blink+shotgun troll builds that dominate the crucible right now.

Shards and energy are available through dailies, raids and scraping rewards. So I disagree with 3 only
