1.) they did 3 because it provides balance. more than that per team and they found you just breeze through the game. no fun. also bungie has not confirmed if there are actually nine subclasses, so for now we should stick to the 6 assumption. even though nine does make sense. 2.)Because matchmaking ruins raids on computers, where raids are from. therefore, bungie wanting to keep the challenge, said no matchmaking. if you want to bitch about this, there are plenty of threads about it. please dont make us look at more of them. 3.) I agree this would be nice. have left on the d pad pull up your sparrow, right pull up an emote bar like in dark souls, up takes you to orbit, and have down be a friggin map! 4.) eh didnt bother me that much. the only one i didnt like this on was the one where i knew the golden chest was in hte room after the boss. felt like a panic trying to get the dang chest. Still, its not my favorite system and I wouldnt be upset if they changed it. or kept it. either way. 5.) i agree. if you are exploring friends list players and clan mates should recieve priority for your phasing groups. It just makes sense. that way you can at least enjoy trucking around in explore with a large group of friends. and can do public events better. another option would be to make explore have a six man fire team like raids and pvp. 6.) This isnt an rpg. its not an mmo. Its a shooter. a shared world shooter. which means yes, while it has some aspects of mmos. and rpgs. it is still first and foremost. a shooter. and shooter players love their pvp. and hate being told what to do with their rewards from shooting one another. If you want the same pvp rewards bungie has a way for you to get it. how? special class items that make the rep bonuses gained apply to a pvp rep group instead of the vanguard or whatever it was you were doing. i think its fine, i personally dont pvp all that much because ive done it too much. but the rewards for it being useful in pve? i think thats brilliant. it was one of my biggest complaints about WoW, the whole "well thats pvp gear" thing.
