Honestly, the reward buffet of this game is in PvE. Adepts? GMs and Master Raids. Higher stat armor? Dungeons, Raids. Variety of legendary weapons and exotic drops? playing it like normal, farming Legend/Master Lost Sectors, Vex Strike Force, or farming exotic weapons in a Dungeon/Raid, playlist specific loot? Vanguard. Masterwork materials? A good chunk of places for that (except for Ascendant Alloys). PvE is what get farmed the most no matter who you are and Crucible is basically a red sticker that’s there, only if you want to get inside it for a experience.

After you play a well u have everything you desire or what u don't wanna grind for doesn't matter anymore. Let's say we take a single aspect like gms my gripe is this. Not a singular season feels like it has 6 banger weapons that are all worth grinding. There's always the swarm in there or the buzzard. And if u like those guns that's great. But I can't remember the last time a season had 6 gms tied to amazing weapons. And the raids fall flat after u get all the red borders and so many clears.
