Using your logic, the world becomes like in the story Harrison Bergeron. Look it up and read it.
No one can be truly "equal". Only treated equally inspire of or despite their differences. That being said, people should be rewarded for hard work/skill; otherwise society becomes despotic.

This isnt society though. It's a video game, which is developed with the intention of being an escape from peoples actual lives, and for as many people as possible to derive some form of enjoyment from it. Also, without the casuals who make up the majority of the playerbase, the game would never survive long-term anyway. While i realise there is no such thing as total equality, closing the skill gap (at least a bit) for the casuals to at least derive some form of enjoyment by being able to actually maybe kill people every now and then throughout their stompings, and by being rewarded every now and then is a completely fair trade-off.

I could get that, if they did t try and cram down the the multiplayer is [b]competitive[/b]. That means it is a competition. I.e the Winners get something, the losers don't. This mechanic is not conducive to a competitive atmosphere and Bungie cannot continually get the best of both worlds by claiming it is to be "fair" and it's "competitive". Two things while not mutually exclusive, can overlap. I.e fair in this case means skill wins the competition instead of fair as in there is a 50-50 chance either side wins.

But it actually is both. Both sides of the spectrum have a chance at being rewarded for playing. While at the same time, the more skilled actually win, which is rewarding in itself.
