So far, every event since Edge of Fate has required some kind of interaction with PvP, whether for Title, daily challenge, etc... And I can tell you that the PvP progression ALWAYS seems to be hit-or-miss. Sometimes its that you have to launch the event from the Crucible tab, not the event tab... sometimes the losses count toward progression more than wins... sometimes you need a certain score, regardless of whether the team wins or loses... it doesnt seem to be consistent at all. Very frustrating, especially when you're someone who doesnt even like PvP to begin with.
