[quote]So let's say you earned your legendary gear (by purchasing with earned currency), did your exotic bounties, properly defeated raid bosses, etc. then I can see where some frustration can come into play.[/quote] This game is poorly designed around forcing you to do some things you may not want to do. So, yes- it is frustrating and I see what the OP means. [quote]You say you and your clanmates properly defeated the raid boss, and that is great, but what about those players who found glitches and exploited them, then proceeded to post them on youtube[/quote] Yes, most people aren't secretive about finding exploits- however, instead of making an area where you die, they very well could have added a different mechanic vice making it an un playable area. This was a /facepalm move by Bungie, they took their ball and went home because they were picked last for kickball. [quote]You said With great skill comes great reward, yet I have played with level 28 users in PVP matches and they couldn't break the 0.5 KDR. But they are a higher level than me which means they must be the better player right? [/quote] Woah woah woah, I [i][u][b]HATE[/b][/u][/i] PVP, I have no interest in it at all really. As I said before, the game is forcing you down that path. The gear I "earned" was granted through PVE channels, not PVP. Even if I'm a higher level, that doesn't mean I should be better. Depends on if you're a PVPer, if so- yeah, maybe. But there really isn't a difference between PVP gear and PVE gear- if there was a difference, like adding player resistance modifiers (resilience)- it would be a lot easier to tell if that person was there to PVP or not.
