Even tho I love the new system of anyone can now be pushed to the light house it encourages more players to play pvp but the downside of going to the lighthouse is pointless... wheres the adepts the ghosts, the shader, the ship??? Its kidna pointless now.

Many players aren’t interested in a high stakes PvP experience, but they want the fancy loot. Like you say, Bungie dilutes the experience to keep those players happy and keep the playlist populated. I think it’s partly a consequence of being a PvE focussed game (and PvE focussed players dabbling in PvP), but Bungie also really dropped the ball with Crucible in general. It’s been a mess throughout D2. Constant chopping and changing - no clear identity for what it should be.
