Maybe some decisions were made in aid of balancing PVP but why does that mean they don't care about PVE? The new weapons system does feel like it was made with with PVP balancing in mind but i don't really think that it it has taken anything away from PVE. If the Raids and strikes take twice as long to finish because the bosses are super spongey and there's no power ammo then yeah sure its a problem but i think they've likely considered that when they made the change, and it didn't feel that bad in the strike to me. [spoiler](small sample space i know but its the only sample we have right now.) [/spoiler] So far i actually really like the switch i like how it feels like i always actually have two primaries and it feels more versatile to me. Not to mention that this time around every weapon is hand made meaning no more blanket nerfs/buffs They've also; created a an open world thats meant to be huge, introduced a larger variety of activities to do in that open world, attempted to improved how you enter those activities, made a new map system, created a new matchmaking system designed to allow players to access both pve and pvp activities they perhaps were unable to previously, they are claiming to have focused heavily on the new story stating there are more cutscenes than any bungie game ever and they are attempting to give NPCs more life by including them in your missions and adventures and what not. They might not nail any of the things they're trying to do but it sure seems like they are trying at least. It's extremely likely some decisions made prioritised pvp over pve but that doesn't mean that they all were or that they don't care about pve, Bungie is a company thats trying to make as much money as it can from this game, so when they have information telling them that their pve is more popular than their pvp i find it unlikely they would would disregard their largest fanbase.
