Agree 100% with your feelings about it. Eventually those of us who prefer solo play will be punished regardless of your skill in solo play in pve. I hope bungie addressed this so that the solo player can still reap rewards based on skill. I'd like to see unique rewards given for solo skill. I'd like to wear coveted armor or weapons that say to others who view my character that I completed something solo and didn't have to get carried to get it. I guess we'll see. Loved D1 plus all DLCs from beta but didn't get to 400 until July of this year. Some might argue we never get bored but it still kinda sucks...
