Mmos are pvp based but this is technically an MMORPG, so the focus is on pve, it was always going to be? Plus a strike takes more time and effort than a multiplayer game, so guaranteed rewards are good, especially as the rewards are only for level 24 strikes or daily, weekly and nightfall. Pvp system is flawed I agree, but pve will and should always be favoured in Destiny.

Are you not forgetting that you still can get quite a few greens and if lucky a few blues or even a legendary from enemy drops ? Overall loot wise combined with extra rep and marks if you still need them your better of with strikes.
