A BIG F-U to PvE Players, Thanks Bungie

EDIT #1 BEGIN - Summary for those who missed the OP long a$$ complaint: Removal of material exchange for vendor reputation and marks generated this post. Using a Day 1 feature NOT exploit to access and buy legendary gear and avoid PvP for personal reasons. EDIT #1 END First we get a ton of mods to fix the PvP whining resulting in PvE nerfs, then 2 PvP events to 1 PvE but still more PvE nerfs. Now take away more access to vendor weapons and armor to those of us who HATE PvP with a passion. I was fine farming for material and purchase Crucible items even though it was daunting. Never complained since I could avoid PvP. What the heck was the logic behind removing material exchange for Crucible rep and marks? I never saw any posts or complaints about resource exchange. If anything, it kept PvP haters like me away from ruining PvP games even more than they are already. If this game was advertised as a PvP centric game with a scarce PvE element that would take a back seat to everything PvP I would have passed on it like I did with Titanfall and other PvP games. Either bring back the material exchange for Crucible marks and rep, open all vendors to accept both currencies or I'll just play PvP to piss as many off as possible to obtain a K/D of 0.00. If your going to ruin PvE, I'll do my part to ruin PvP as best that I can. Maybe I'll even be stoked to play Iron Banner 3.0 and shoot for the #1 spot in the worst PvP of all time. Just as you have people that hate PvE, from reading the posts for the past couple of months, you have more that hate PvP. Please tell us now that Destiny is 80% PvP and 20% PvE so we know where you stand. All I know is after waiting and hoping Bungie would bring some love to PvE, all we got was a third and fourth kick in the balls. After the expansion is released and there is still no resolution to this horrible PvE treatment, I'll waste my extra time playing even more like a complete noob in PvP just to piss as many people off as possible. I'll highly recommend that others who feel the same do too. If this was just "another" unintended side effect from a patch I may feel bad for ranting. If not, enjoy the last $ you'll see from me or anyone else who feels the same way. If there is some great addition in the expansion to nullify this rant I truly apologize in advance. BTW, it might help to post a list of the 100 worst PvP Guardians in your app. I would like to try and make the top 10 of that list.

    [quote]First we get a ton of mods to fix the PvP whining resulting in PvE nerfs, then 2 PvP events to 1 PvE but still more PvE nerfs. [/quote] 2 week event to 2 1 week events, Seems even. Mods were for game balancing in general. If you are complaining about auto rifles, which is really the only thing that has bleed over from the balances. Sucks, but there is no one weapon class to rule them all. If you are not talking about that, then what nerfs are you talking about? [quote] Now take away more access to vendor weapons and armor to those of us who HATE PvP with a passion. I was fine farming for material and purchase Crucible items even though it was daunting. Never complained since I could avoid PvP. [/quote] They most likely took it away because very few people used it. I know I never did. I farmed like crazy and only once used the exchange. [quote] What the heck was the logic behind removing material exchange for Crucible rep and marks? [/quote] Crucible rank and gear should be earned from the crucible, not bringing them materials. Make perfect sense and is logically sound. [quote] I never saw any posts or complaints about resource exchange. If anything, it kept PvP haters like me away from ruining PvP games even more than they are already. [/quote] I assume you missed the plethora of post about how boring crappy farming material, or how there needs to be a better in game economy. [quote] If this game was advertised as a PvP centric game with a scarce PvE element that would take a back seat to everything PvP I would have passed on it like I did with Titanfall and other PvP games.[/quote] The game heavy favors pve. With 2 weekly events that give guaranteed rewards. Max level attained is via the pve element. Really I don't see how you say the game is PvP based. [quote] Either bring back the material exchange for Crucible marks and rep, open all vendors to accept both currencies or I'll just play PvP to piss as many off as possible to obtain a K/D of 0.00. [/quote] I just lost a little respect for you with that threat. While I do think that having separate marks is rather foolish. I don't think you should be able to buy crucible gear without having played in the crucible. You don't get raid gear with out doing the raid. [quote] If your going to ruin PvE, I'll do my part to ruin PvP as best that I can. Maybe I'll even be stoked to play Iron Banner 3.0 and shoot for the #1 spot in the worst PvP of all time. [/quote] How you feel that they ruined the entire pve experience is beyond me. If anything the update improved it. Instead of guardians running around in circles now to get enough mats to raise their items they can now do dailies and bounties to get those mats. They can still run patrols but now instead of it being mats center it is patrol centered. I enjoy the update and feel it is a vast improvement. [quote] Just as you have people that hate PvE, from reading the posts for the past couple of months, you have more that hate PvP. [/quote] This is simply not true, the amount of people that dislike pve or PvP are most likely the same. Truthfully it is probably a very small minority in general that do no play both. [quote] Please tell us now that Destiny is 80% PvP and 20% PvE so we know where you stand. [/quote] This is no cod, bf or titanfall where pve is added to fulfill a bullet on the package. The split feels more like: 55% pve and 45℅pvp. [quote] All I know is after waiting and hoping Bungie would bring some love to PvE, all we got was a third and fourth kick in the balls.[/quote] Again I don't see how the update is PvP centered "love" it is across the board changes. [quote] After the expansion is released and there is still no resolution to this horrible PvE treatment, I'll waste my extra time playing even more like a complete noob in PvP just to piss as many people off as possible. [/quote] Vindictive and petty at best. Generally speaking there must always be chaff for the higher tier players to practice one. So why not you. [quote] I'll highly recommend that others who feel the same do too. [/quote] Petty, very petty. [quote] If this was just "another" unintended side effect from a patch I may feel bad for ranting. If not, enjoy the last $ you'll see from me or anyone else who feels the same way.[/quote] I am pretty sure it is intentional. They removed what was a rarely used feature and added a economy that was desperately missing. [quote] If there is some great addition in the expansion to nullify this rant I truly apologize in advance. [/quote] Perhaps you should have waited two weeks before flying of the hinges there. [quote] BTW, it might help to post a list of the 100 worst PvP Guardians in your app. I would like to try and make the top 10 of that list.[/quote] Again very petty and no one cares are ranking in PvP. You want those leaderboards go to cod or bf. As a general rebuttle to things not in the post but in the thread. You have nerve damage and thus exclude yourself from a majority of the aspects of the game, strikes, raids, pvp, etc. So you patrol. Okay I get that. But every faction with the exception of crucible is attainable via the pve element. Every rank you gain earns you a care package with weapons or armor. So you don't need those crucible marks. Sure you want a specific crucible weapon, well that suck. I want the vex mythoclast and know that hard mode is the only way to get it. So guess what, I do hard mode. The crucible gear should for crucible players, just as raid gear is for raiders. Instead of ranting and raving here, you should be playing and figureing out how your play style fits in the new update. Instead of being petty and vindictive you should thinking of how better to benefit from the update.

    • To be honest you could play pvp and just keep getting killed, be on the bottom of the team, and 90% of the time you'll be the one to get the best shit. I say go for it man.

          • The inherent problem is not the removal of the tedious material exchange so much as 80% of the Vendors being Crucible mark only. Turn Dead Orbit and co into taking either Mark and it'd be balanced out fine. (I don't know why Dead Orbit or Monarchy care about Crucible anyways, based off what little info they have. FWC at least makes some sense)

          • PvP is a whole lot better way to earn marks than farming precious materials that you need for upgrading guns and armor. Now maybe you like to stick to just one build and have acquired all the materials you need but you get 2 marks for a loss and 3 for a win. You can play some super quick games. You can go into the game with the mind set that you will have fun! Just go in there and have a ball man. It doesn't matter how good you are at Destiny in the PvP arena because, lean close and I'll tell you a secret, this has no bearing on your life. Just learn to have fun with it!

            Opening factions to vanguard marks would be by far the best solution, no need to farm materials and still able to access the alternative gear.

            • Why do you guys care how this dude gets his gear and plays the game? He's obviously not going to be using his gear to compete with you in the crucible, so what does it matter to you people? Let him play the game the way he wants, you guys are a bunch of critical little children. I've turned in material to get crucible marks every once in a while, sometimes you just want that gear and you have a lot of extra material. There are a lot of valid situations for using that system, just because you can't think of any doesn't mean they aren't there… It just means that you're too stupid to come up with any.

            • There is and probably never will be a way to share marks between ur characters. If you could trade marks for materials and mats for rep it would defeat that. Anyways. Im not sure who is forcing u to play pvp not sure i understand that.

            • Wahh I want crucible gear and weapons but don't wanna play crucible. If only there was a thing like crucible with legendaries you could buy with marks that wasn't crucible. They should add something like that in. You'll get rep for strikes patrols and weeklies.

            • I don't enjoy PvP because I truly am no good at it. Not afraid to admit it either. I don't play it because I do not want to drag a team down because I am not good. I feel that I would make the game less fun for my team mates. I am also 52 so my reaction time is no where near fast enough to go against much younger gamers. I avoid PvP so I don't upset other gamers by being bad at it.

              • So let me get this right....you are so bad at this game that the only thing you can do is Patrols over and over again with multiple characters. Now you are upset that you can no longer get Crucible marks from doing Patrols over and over again. Your solution is to go into PVP and to go out of your way to be the worst. I suggest you just do the best you can do, and you will still end up the worst, you won't need to go out of your way to be at the bottom. Are you ever late for your short bus when running Patrols over and over again?

                • Your 80/20% comparison has no basis in reality. It takes me about the same number of hours to max my weekly marks. You can get it 4 games an hour in Crucible, all losses nets you 8 marks, all wins gets you 12. Running patrol on Earth and hitting as many events as you can (fastest way I've found to get marks) gets you roughly the same, maybe a few more if you do catch every single event. The expansion is primarily PvE content, not PvP. Finally, Crucible Marks are specifically supposed to be [b]PvP[/b] currency. It sucks a player cannot buy FWC armor without them, and I hope that will change, but to believe that [b][i]CRUCIBLE MARKS[/i][/b] should be available for people who don't play Crucible is ridiculous. I believed from the get-go the trade-in system of mats for marks was a poor idea. Now that we have quite a few new ways to gain mats, something a vocal part of the community complained about, we have new problems since people have less of a chance to game the system. I for one am willing to sacrifice trading-in mats for the fact I'm earning a bunch more just doing what I'm already doing, i.e. Daily Missions, Patrol bounties.

                • So you suck at PVP and the only PVE you're good at are patrols, where the enemies are all Lv 12 or lower? Why do you even want crucible rep when I'm sure whatever weapons you've got already let you walk through patrol missions, since that's all you play? Actually, I understand why you're upset. Trading materials for rep was a crutch that allowed noobs and children to get rep w/o doing anything to properly earn it. But is that actually fun? Is wading through throngs of easy enemies, waiting for materials and chests to spawn, for hours and hours on end, really fun for you? I suggest you actually try to get better at PVE instead of bitching about it, and maybe you'll actually find a fulfilling challenge. Also, +10 Guardian Tears.

                • I agree with everything THX 007 said. Without access to Crucible Marks/Reputation in PVE and a reliable source of Ascendant Materials, this game really isn’t worth playing, at least for me. And to T3CH54M4, since you advocate purity for the Crucible, maybe you can tell me why the faction vendors, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and FWC, only accept Crucible Marks. They have nothing to do with the Crucible and should accept Vanguard Marks as well. The currency scheme in Destiny has always been a mess and now it’s worse. I’ve spent hundreds of hours pursuing a strategy which Bungie has just derailed by changing the rules in the middle of the game. Bad form Bungie.

                    • I responded to a post about these all these issues yesterday after trying to turn 100 spirit bloom for crucible marks and ending up with 140 bloom minus 10 marks. What is the point of leveling up with my factions if I can no longer buy from them? Just hope for a new emblem and 2 blue engrams after grinding patrols? I love Destiny but hate crucible and I will not be forced into wasting another moment of my life playing something I dont enjoy at all : (
