Like I care how you feel about me. Stop implying any implications, there are none. "I don't want the gear because it's too hard to get." That's not a reason to not want the gear that's a reason you don't want to earn it. The original poster claimed he just wanted to play IB for fun, this is the topic. The quest is perfectly optional, you literally don't even have to do anything to make progress, and if you're 750 IB is practically no different from quickplay control. You'd rather play crucible? That's funny because IB is crucible. The only reason to complain about the quest is because you want the gear and you want it now. It has nothing to do with wanting fun as nothing about the quest get's in the way of fun. Most posters I've seen said it takes about 12 hours of gametime to complete. ~45 minutes a day over 2 IB weeks is nothing, so stop "venting" and just do it, or -blam!- off and play something else already.
