I have to agree. I joined Destiny with never intending to do PvP. I tried Gambit and that was fun and I figured just separate enough that it didn't bug. Most of my fight was PvE so no biggie. Then a friend convinced me to try Capture and I honestly enjoyed it. I started playing Crucible regularly and I greatly enjoyed playing, I looked forward to it. Since the change to connection based match making I have come to dread the soul crushing experience of playing Crucible. I just finished the 100 arc kills in crucible for the spring armor and I had put it off until the absolute last moment because I desperately wanted to avoid Crucible and sure enough each match was soul crushing and awful because I was trying to eke out a few kills while getting absolutely devastated by players of obviously much higher skill. By the time I finished I felt utter relief that I didn't have to keep doing this. That is how much I have come to despise what was once a favored part of the game. Frankly, too, this game is getting on in age and the new content can be nice but I am feeling the weight of burn out on this game. The bad outweighing the good and pushing my attention to other games. Things like this just make that worse. I get it, I'm not a content creator or someone who obsesses with the game to the point that I am ranked and I have a huge clan or whatever. I am a casual player. I would really like to know, though: Bungie, what did I do to deserve this? Taking a thing most beloved and making it so frustrating. to please some player and then holding the in game content at gunpoint forcing me to play this experience you have turned awful. If connection based match making wont go away then fine, please stop giving me quest steps the REQUIRE crucible play. Its unreasonable and it will drive me away. As it is, after finishing the bit for my spring armor I told my fireteam that the next quest that requires crucible I am just not doing it. Its unfair to ask your player base to do something so frustrating. I cannot possibly know what it takes to make your match making work and I am sure there are many people happy to have less dropped players and "smoother" matches. But I play the game to have fun and everyone I have personally spoken to has said the same, crucible is no longer fun. You loosed the poachers into the baby seal pen at the zoo and expect the baby seals to be grateful. I'm not grateful, sorry.
