Because it would for sure absolutely suck to get griefed by other players during missions.

As about speaking of RDO. I was trying to mind my own buisness doing a simple job requiring me to return a stolen vehicle/wagon from bandits. 2 other players however decided to ruin this job for me by killing me 3 times while I was almost only a few footsteps away from the final mission point. (I am not joking about this. I was legit one street-side away from getting this job done)

After said 3 deaths I gave up and left the western town, interacted with 2 honorable players (which did not kill me just emoted) right before logging off.

So, Bungie... PLEASE NEVER ADD OPEN WORLD PVP!

It is a horrible idea because it does incentify griefing other players and makes the game for beginners and solo/coop-only players worse.

We've actually played with this idea on occasion. Open-ended PVP is completely out of the question for the reasons you list and many more - but we've pitched ideas before about having arenas in the world where players can opt into temporary and controlled PvP experiences. We've never actually built them though, but who knows maybe some day. If y'all have feedback or ideas on how this could work, we're more than happy to hear it. :)
