I 100% agree with this. I am doing the exotic bounty for Bad Juju and was super bummed to see I had to play PVP to complete it.

[quote][b]75% of all the legendaries are gated behind pvp rep / crucible marks[/b][/quote] False. Stop being over dramatic. There are a total of 24 legendary weapons that require playing PvP to purchase from Crucible-based vendors (this includes factions). There are also 12 legendary weapons that require only PvE play to buy. This does not count the special event weapons which do not require PvP play. Also, there are legendary drops, the Vault of Glass weapons, the PS exclusive weapons, etc. Not to mention that you are able to get the "PvP exclusive" weapons from decryption or random drop. While you may have a little room to complain about exotic weapons, you do not for the legendary.

My buddies 're urged one of the exotic weapon bounites, he is a pve player and has grinded for hours to get a gold weapon, he was so excited..... The bounty, you have to kill 500 guardians, he has not picked the game up since. I cannot blame him, the bounties are getting ridiculous and I have not found crap in armor. I'm supposed to fight on the vault of glass but I am spending all my time getting my armor..... #feelinglikedestinyletmedown

I think its primarily because all new PvE content takes a great deal of time and effort to create refine and polish to the point where it's ready for public play. More than a couple of weeks after launch to be certain! I have actually received many of what you called "gated" Legendary weapons and armor pieces through PvE content. 1: Cryptic Dragon Scout Rifle [Crucible via Lord Shax], obtained from Legendary Engram decryption while playing story on Venus at Campus 9. 2: Unwilling Soul Auto Rifle [Dead Orbit] obtained as a reward for completing the Week 1 Devil's Lair Nightfall. 3: Hex Caster Arc Auto Rifle [Dead Orbit] obtained Via Legendary Engram decryption, received while patrolling Mars' Buried City. 4: The Cure Rocket Launcher [FWC] obtained from Week 3 Nexus Nightfall. 5: The Chance Hand Cannon: [FWC] obtained from week 2 Summoning Pits Nightfall (from which my friend and fireteam member obtained the incredible Suros Regime!) I have actually received several legendary vanguard weapons as a result of mission rewards and legendary/rare decryptions as well, notably the Light/Beware fusion rifle, but those aren't "gated behind PvP" as you say, so I suppose they don't count. Additionally, there are always Xur's exotics which can be obtained via the strange coins gathered in ALL modes of play. As for the Queen's Bounties, yesterday 3/5 were PvE based, not to mention that every SINGLE queen's wrath mission is a PvE Story event... but I suppose you prefer to ignore the points that work against your general complaint, so we'll move on. As far as Legendary faction armor goes, it can also be obtained through PvE in the same ways as my examples above show, I received the Justicar's Hood [New Monarchy] in just this fashion. If you want to BUY these legendaries, you need crucible marks to obtain them. This is true, but you can still get them regardless of your affinity for type of play. As it happens, the versions obtained outside of vendors don't usually have the same stock bonus sets as those bought, and their stats are typically slightly better overall. So...in the end, the game isn't extremely biased in favor of PvP, but rather the game tries to give players a REASON to play PvP, whether it's working on your faction reputation to get access to that weapon that suits your PvP play style, or for the armor set that suits your preferred pair of ability stats. Note, buying one of those Legendary weapons requires 150 marks, a full week and a half of Crucible investments! With minimum value armor piece prices at 65 marks, you can only buy ~1.66 legendary armor items in any given week, provided that you completely forgo ALL legendary weapons and give up on the more expensive 120 mark armor pieces. Working toward buying your legendary items is much tougher than finding them in the wild, and this makes PvE likely the best mode of play for obtaining high quality items, at least that's how I got myself geared to the point where my friend and I two-manned the Nexus Nightfall in under half an hour. XD Despite everything I've said though, I do definitely wish there was more PvE content variation. I wish there were limited time PvE events in the wild that would show up for a few hours to give us something new and exciting. Weekly original story missions that expand on the universe would be absolutely killer as well. I know the content creation rate required to make that happen would be very heavy, but still I wish for it quite heartily. I want more PvE, more strikes, more raids, deeper stories, varied story lines... but I don't really condone yelling at PvP because of it.
