Another great podcast everyone! So about the whole notion of "perceived" PvP focus... Bungie has been putting PvP first SINCE THE BEGINNING. Every weapon change going all the way back to 1.1.1 has been about "balancing" (lol) the PvP. Any efforts to alleviate the effect of nerfs on PvE were half-assed on their best day. So until this behavior changes, everything Bungie does is PvP-focused. That is not a "perception." You guys mentioned during the show that at the DRE they kept trying to get people to play the PvP but everyone was engrossed in the PvE. This is not an indication they're more PvE focused now. It's actually the opposite. It is simply more evidence that Bungie is PvP focused while more of the audience is in it for PvE. This disconnection has been a huge problem for Destiny since day one.
