Stop shoving PvP down my throat, please

[b]75% of all the legendaries are gated behind pvp rep / crucible marks[/b] [b]Almost all of the exotic bounties have difficult pvp steps[/b] [i]Thorn – Exotic Handgun -- Kill Guardians in the Crucible using void damage. Deaths slow your progress greatly! Bad Juju – Exotic Pulse Rifle -- Fight in the Crucible and obtain 10,000 points and have a kill to death ratio above 1-1 Invective – Shotgun -- Fight in the Crucible and achieve 25 more kills than deaths. Fate of All Fools – Exotic Scout Rifle -- Multiple PvP steps[/i] [b]Every special event that has occurred is occurring or is scheduled to occur is pvp oriented[/b] [i]Salvage - PvP Combined Arms - PvP Queen's Wrath - PvP/PvE Iron Banner - PvP[/i] I thought Queen's bounty was going to be a pure pve event, but alas 3 out of the 4 bounties for today are, you guessed it, pvp bounties. Why the extreme bias in favor of pvp when this game was touted as a shared world, rpg style loot, exploration heavy, "play your way" kind of game? If you're going to have all these pvp events and do nothing for the pvers you're cutting yourselves off at the knees, and the description of the game offered by Bungie feels misleading. [b]Possible solutions:[/b] Give bounties dual objectives, 1 that's pvp centric and 1 that's pve centric and allow the player to choose which way to finish the bounties. Open up all of the vendors to both currencies. I understand that recycling PvP which kind of creates its own content is easier than creating something new for PvE, but I'd be happy even with a recycled content PvE event mixed in with all of the PvP events. Queen event is the best attempt at that thus far, but all of the other events are purely focused on PvP and it just feels as though the PvE is being jilted.

  • 75% of legendary gear is not gated by PVP. Do not state something that is clearly incorrect and is an untrue statistic being used to emphasize the point you are trying to make. How can you say that this game is biased towards PvP? I am a heavy PvP player, it's what I know and what I'm good at. However at the bare minimum half of my gear has come from the PvE realm. To say this game caters to the PvP is complete nonsense. If I'm not mistaken PvE has six bounties a day just like PvP does. The queen bounties have 3 PvP and 3 PvE last I checked. PvE has Nightfall strikes which gives you a guaranteed exotic, legendary, set of ascendant shards/energies. PvE has weekly strikes that reward you with up to 9 strange coins that can be used with Xur to buy Exotics. PvE has Raids which gives you the chance at some great gear. Then with the great abundance of engrams that you get from PvE you can keep leveling the Cryptarch with potential chances to unlock exotics/legendaries. Now then, we come to the exotic bounties. I see nothing wrong with how they are currently set up. They are their on unique types of bounties and should have requirements from both aspects of the game. If anything the exotic bounties have more PvE in them than they do PvP. The three exotice bounties I have completed have had ONE PvP requirement (which are not really that difficult when you think about it, 500 points of void damage probably being the toughest one). These are top items in the game and should be difficult and challenging to achieve. If you want The problem I have with Strictly PvE people is they don't like to compete, they simply want to take the easy road and mind numbingly shoot AI for hours knowing eventually they will get great gear after eventually playing enough to exploit bosses or establish patterns that will take away any challenge presented. In my opinion this is what makes you people bad in the PvP world because you are not used to fighting against another human that thinks, strategizes and where unknown variables occur. As a result you attack Bungie for trying to get you people out of your comfort zone and step up to a challenge. Being a PvP player, I don't like all the PvE stuff I have to do to get the things I want but I suck it up and do it anyways without complaining. We are all going to come across aspects of the game we aren't particularly fond of. Bungie simply can not Cater to any one single persons or groups needs due to the quantity of people who play this game. I am all for your suggestions for dual bounty requirements and opening the vendors to both currencies. I feel that would add to the value of the game for everyone. I just hate the fact that a majority of you bash Bungie with a lot of BS statistics and "facts" when they are untrue. I ultimately feel Bungie has made a very good and balanced game with challenging elements to it. Most of all the whining needs to come to an end and you sometimes have to nut up and do things you don't want to do in life.
