Having played the game a little over a month, I find it horribly unfair and aggravating that folks like myself that enjoy only the PvE portion of the game are forced to trudge through the monotony and frustration of Crucible battles to obtain guns like Thorn, Invective, etc.
I thought the process in getting the Bad Juju was somewhat fair, but I still despised EVERY moment of the PvP.
I used to love Deathmatch/PvP when I was a kid, but I've long outgrown it, as have most of the folks I've play with... we only do it for these guns, but we avoid Iron Banner, etc.
For most of us, it's endless frustration and rage, something we try to avoid in our lives, ESPECIALLY while trying to relax with a game. Doing Crucible, for me, requires far more concentration than even the hardest of raids in games of Destiny's genre.
PLEASE, Bungie, allow the PvP players to get their Thorn, etc. their way (and maybe even give different perks to the gun for them) and for the majority that get on to relax, quest, and play against the AI in PvE, give us a questline that only requires us to battle the computer to obtain our exotic guns.
[i][b]1/23/15 EDIT: I get this feeling 2v2 Couples Deathmatch was added to help players with the chaos of multitudes of players not being able to communicate well in a fireteam. I think this could be a lot of fun and an easier way to obtain Thorn, Invective, etc.[/b][/i]

4 RepliesI agree with you mate. I have no interest in coming home after 12 hours of work to a game that has a death penalty. I'm all for progression! That's what grabs me about MMO style games. The reset progress due to death is just too frustrating. I'm not saying I can't do it.. I just don't need the frustration of jumping into a PVP map against seasoned veteran pvp players that know the maps back the front. I would like to try the guns but I'm not going to put myself through that much frustration to get them. I suggested ages ago that they should have a ranking system to fix this. That way PVE players wouldn't be up against PVP vets. Anyway, If bad juju and the heavy mg are anything to go by then I don't think it's any loss not getting thorn etc.
