Half the exotics can be earned though pve? What, half isnt good enough? The stuff earned in pvp are earned there cause maybe their made for pvp! Chaperone is a pvp based shotgun, clearly since it can one shot someone if you hit the head! If you cant do it, then dont even bother. And if you ask " then how am i supposed to get it?!?" You dont, cause you want even power though and learn from mistakes. Maybe you should get fallout 4 and just leave, thats all pve and you can earn and find everything in one game type(meaning its only pve). Destiny caters to two different realms: pve and pvp. There is more pve based content now than ever before, so it only makes sense if bungie focuses a little more now on pvp and make most of the quests pvp based at some point. The biggest challenges are either in the raids or in crucible, where skills(piss off it does take some skill) are needed to get the highest level rewards(not the endgame drops).
