As a certified crucible legend (top 1% for crucible deaths, top 1% for orb collection, bottom 3% for ktd), and expert PvE player (2 check em 2 raid completions) who was the world's first to solo the crota chest in the abyss using only dancing to traverse the map, I have this great concept.
The reality is PvE is easy mode for scrubs. Giving out light 42 gear for walking through easy content vs the hard slog of earning it in the Iron Banner is a slap in the face. Anyone can die at the lanterns and get 36 light gear when a hunter invisibility cheeses the section solo. Only the supreme can grind the Iron Banner to level 34.
UPDATE: hahahahahahaha the Scrub zone of Eldars is an even bigger joke. Hur hur hur a 30 second gjally blast to level 35 completion. Please. And the Trials is Scrubsiris.....where 1 good player carries 2 scrubs to the lighthouse week in week out is hardly worthy of max level. These activities should be deleted from the game!!!!
I think raid, PoE and Trials gear should be reduced to Blue gear to represent the lack of skill required to get it.

I hear what you mean, but the raid isn't an easy thing all the time. Also, the Iron Banner it isn't what it used to be. It used to be where if you lost you wouldn't get anything, but only when you've won you get points towards your Iron Banner ranking. Those of us who participated in the first Iron Banner and got to ranking 5 are the true legends of PVP. In comparison, the new Iron Banner has been nerfed. Win in the new Iron Banner you're get points toward your Iron Banner ranking. Lose in the new Iron Banner and you'll still get something you can put towards you're Iron Banner ranking. The penalty for losing isn't as harsh as it was in the old Iron Banner. Still, Iron Banner is still where the skillful come out to play. Raiding shouldn't be the only place to get light level 36, true.
