There is a certain evil genius behind requiring people to go into PVP for exotic bounties. I initially hated PVP and initially hated every second of the Thorn bounty. I nearly discarded the damn thing. The more I played though, the better I got and once I had a system working with an appropriate build (Defender Titan with Armamentarium and 2 stickies + void [u]rare[/u] shottie), I saw the light. Now I love PVP. I spend an inordinate amount of time in it and it's been a lot of fun. Maybe most people will not react the same way, but for the small percentage that do, this is a winning move by Bungie to keep people playing their game. People who boost for the bounty are robbing themselves of the chance to grow to love the Crucible and that's a shame, because you really can have a lot of fun in it.
