Imagine thinking Destiny would be better without pvp. Not being good or not liking something isn’t enough to remove it. Pve is what attracts people to Destiny. Pvp gives people something to do when they are done with pve. You really think people are gonna do strikes/seasonal activities all day? How is LESS better?

    With all due respect though but when zavala gets updated with the same system as Shaxx and the Drifter then doing strikes will be the same as doing crucible or gambit.

    Yes it will. Destiny isn't a 50/50 split game when it comes to PVE and PVP content. The Crucible is a side mode like Strikes and Gambit meant to give you additional things to do within the game besides the main PVE based story content. The reason why it seems that PVP is more important has to do with its playerbase. There are people within the Destiny community who purely play this game for the Player VS Player content. They don't care about the story or the lore. They only live for the PVP. This has caused the importance of PVP to grow beyond its boundaries. This is why people want more PVP content. This is the reason why Bungie is so hesitant to nerf Stasis within PVP because they know its a major selling point for a lot of new people who join the Destiny community for the PVP experience. This is also why Bungie forces you into crucible for a lot of exotic quests and catalysts etc etc. To give a good comparison look at the Dark Souls franchise. They are PVE based games with the addition of Player Versus Player matches. But the PVP element within those games doesn't define nor dictate the future of these games. The developer Fromsoft also has never done anything to elevate PVP beyond its intended function. This isn't the case for Destiny. As we know Bungie introduced Iron banner, Trials Of Osiris, Trials Of The Nine and Gambit in some way. All of these modes were meant to elevate PVP within a PVE focused game and this caused a divide in which some people now consider PVP within Destiny as an integral part of the game which it shouldn't be. The fact that people are asking for more PVP content is evidence of the game failing to keep people interested with its continued story. This is caused by Bungie's choice to turn Destiny into a continually updated game like an MMO but it doesn't work well in that format. For example the MMO Elder Scrolls Online has an open world and a huge amount of PVE content that allows you to keep busy for month after month until the next expansion comes out. This isn't the case with Destiny. Bungie offers very little in terms of story and there's no reason to explore because each new area that is released is very small and linear in design. So the lack of PVE content forces people to spend their time within PVP and therefore elevating a side mode into something that holds to much importance within the game.

    Have you even read what i said? I wasn't assuming anything but stating facts. I can say the game is PVE because that's what it is. Destiny is a PVE focused first person looter shooter with online mechanics. The fact that the game has the ability to PVP doesn't mean its a PVP game. For example the game Rainbow Six Siege has a PVE element but nobody is looking at it as a PVE game or calling it a PVE game because its PVP focused and therefore is a PVP game.
