[quote]I don't think we need to be able to get ascendant shards through PvP.[/quote]
Why? Both PvP and PvE players need to masterwork armor 2.0 to get that +2 boost to every stat and 10 available energy a masterworked piece of armor gives.... So enhancement prisms and ascendant shards need both PvE and PvP sources.
How would you feel if something essential like enhancement cores would only come from PvP activities? Don't you think you would ask Bungie to give PvE sources for those?

Because Destiny is meant to be both. If you could get everything from either PvP, there would never be an incentive to play PvE, and vice versa. This is coming from a pvp player. I would end up only playing pvp if this was the case, which would be lame. I want to play PvE too but there would be no point.

But essential materials for functioning of the game like legendary shards, enhancement cores, enhancement prisms and ascendant shards should have both PvP and PvE sources. All hell would've broken loose if it was the other way around. I.m.o. enhancement prisms should be awarded for something like turning in an Iron banner bounty. Not a single PvE player would get hurt in that process.

I agree about the double standard, I said in another comment that I think it's funny how PvE players will be up in arms about this if it happened but they moan about going into a few quickplay matches for a quest. I'm not against earning materials in pvp period, just don't want it to be overdone because they're pretty damn hard to get in pve and should be equally difficult to get in pvp. You already get enhancement cores from valor and glory rank-ups so this is already in place to some extent. I think making ascendant shards a reward for resetting your valor or getting a full rank-up in glory could work. And grant prisms as a reward for a valor rank-up and partial glory rank-up. I also think they should be easier to get in PvE though i.e. guaranteed drop from Master NF. And halve the prism cost for an ascendant shard (or make prisms more abundant)
