Would you leave Destiny if they took out PvP?
Just a survey for devs to see what they should be focused on.
Edit: I've been reading almost all the posts to my poll, and really am enjoying the engaging argument. Yes, I realize the forum has a bias towards PvE. Not much I can do about that. It is what it is.
What I am pleased to see is the COMMENTS seem to be relatively equal in PvP vs PvE...and that was my hope.
Is balance in PvP hurting PvE? Should D2 PvE be a deeper RPG experience? What other games handle this marriage of PvP and PvE well, and how are they able to do that? Is PvP being held back by lack of engaging content?
While most will blame one side for the other's demise, the long and short of it is that Destiny 2 is HUGELY popular...and has been all the while with a marriage of both PvP and PvE...even creating a new genre of game that combines then both, with Gambit.
What I feel Bungie needs to do is continue engaging all three sections of the game equally. Seasons should simply rotate the focus...so each get a large content drop when it's their turn.
As far as balancing the game, they should stop trying so hard. Balancing doesn't mean make EVERYTHING the same. It means making everything have POTENTIAL...if you use the right combination of mods, perks and play styles.
I just don't know if Bungie is slowly killing off PvP to get people to engage with their next IP or are they just struggling to get the right people to fix D2. What I do know, however, is the struggle is real!

The original draw for me and many og players was to grind each content release for pvp gear. Without the want to play pvp the season pretty much dries up after a month or so. Pvp is what keeps the game going during the down times. Like now the player population is abysmal because pvp is a joke. Players who don’t take the time to get good at pvp always want it removed because they would rather it removed then get stomped. What these players fail to realize is many of the players you are doing raids, GMs and dungeons with are there to get gear for pvp. Many pvp players also play pve but not often the other way around. If you were to remove pvp I think the game would become a shell of its former self by cutting nearly 40% of the playerbase. Before players start arguing numbers let’s not forget visiting the spider counts as patrol and thus pve participation. Those numbers are def skewed. I play both day 1 raids and go to the lighthouse. I have both Flawless and Conqueror title. If pvp was cut I would quit the game easy as that. If you want a strictly pve game there are literally hundreds of them out there. What makes Destiny - Destiny is the ability to earn gear in pve and use it in pvp and vice versa. Having said all of that literally every aspect of pvp is in dire need of an overhaul. Hopefully we get a season of Shaxx in the not to distant future.
