I've seen some serious nonsense reach the top of the sub recently, claiming that all PvP players are demanding the cancellation of raids and new activities until we get new crucible maps and balance changes. That's a load of complete bullsh*t. Every single person who plays this game understands that PvE is the main focus, and no one is seriously disputing that. We aren't asking for it to be the "main focus", we are asking for it to be a focus, at all. Look at every single seasonal release, and compare the amounts of content that each area of the game receives. It's a huge difference.
Asking for stuff such as more frequent balancing passes or actual relevant loot from PvP will not, as they say, "compromise Destiny's defining characteristics". (?????) As for telling us to "just go play Overwatch or Apex for pvp", how about I respond by saying, just go play borderlands or anthem or diablo? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Just because other options exist doesn't mean we want to leave what we like and have heavily invested ourselves into.
I just don't get it. No one wants an entire season of the crucible or anything, we just want more stuff to do. We haven't had trials for over a year, comp has no new reward for reaching Legend this year, there's absolutely no endgame materials grind in crucible at all unless you count the pitiful 10 enhancement cores for a valor reset (of which you can get the equivalent of 66 by dismantling one piece of armor from the dungeon). We don't want the entire focus, we just want a little. I don't think that's an insane request.
Here's some (I would say) reasonable suggestions.
Add a set of armor that can roll with high level stats that only drops from wins in competitive playlist.
Give us some way of earning infusion materials. If valor resets are too easy, as some claim, then perhaps give us challenging weekly bounties that we can do for them
And, of course, Trials would always be welcome. At this point, I don't think there's anyone that would say no to even just bringing back Trials of the Nine exactly as it was with no changes, just something to do.
