I'm enjoying Destiny so far, having a good time, got me some Exotics and I'm doing well, first Exotic was Bad Juju, after doing the Bounty, was a little annoyed I was forced into playing the Crucible but it wasn't too bad as it didn't take long, HOWEVER, A Voice in the Wilderness Bounty for Super Good Advice Machine Gun Has seriously pissed me off, as I already HATE the Crucible and only bought the game for the Co-Op PVE MMO style gameplay, I should not be Forced into the Multiplayer just so I can Unlock weapons with NO other way of getting them. I don't really have a lot else to say, I just hate the Crucible and do NOT appreciate being FORCED to play it, not to mention for an incredibly unlikely Minimum of 166.666r Kills with Machine Guns!?!?!? Machine guns!?!?!? 166 kills (Minimum, 500 Maximum) is bad enough when I can use any gun I like but Machine guns>!>!>!>>!>! Lets say you have a VERY Good game and get 40+ kills? and lets say you went on some mad Rampage and got 10 Kills with a Machine Gun, all headshots, that's still only got you to 30 points, you still have to play 15.666r PERFECT Games to complete that portion of the Bounty! But lets say you Don't get 16 PERFECT games and you're like me and get maybe 3 Machinegun Headshots in a game? 9 Points in you've still got 55! MORE -blam!-ING GAMES TO PLAY!?!?!?!??!?!?
Now, I get it, Exotic weapons are supposed to be hard to get, and for your hardship you get a top of the range weapon to show off and help you Dominate the Alien Scum... Or do you? With Bad Juju being one of the best, if not the best, looking Exotic Weapons in the game, I was frankly underwhelmed, Fires Fully Automatic, Does it? Does it really? Or does it just trigger spam for you? Does it just save your poor worn out trigger finger... it's Damage? Mediocre to be honest, it's Impact is so low it may as well be a rare handcannon... But I can't completely Bitch and moan about it, seeing as it instantly reloads and gets that damage bonus after a kill, which saves it from it's brutally low clip size of 15... Now I know Bungie are going to Buff it a some point but honestly that just annoys me even more Because the Buffs and Nerfs don't only effect PvP, I understand how something like the Vex Mythoclast is to be considered OP (Over Powered), because it Blatantly is, But isn't that the Purpose of Exotics? I know, I know, in PvP An OP Weapon ruins the game for everyone involved but in PvE An Exotic Weapon is rewarded to the player for Their Effort, Time and Skill that they have put into the game, so shouldn't they be "OP" I mean, aren't Exotics "Meant" to be the "Cream of the Crop"? The Very best there is? And now they Nerf them? It makes me wonder what's the point in having an Exotic at all if they're just going to nerf them to oblivion, I'm all for a Weapon Buff in PvP because if a weapon merits a Buff it obviously needs it, you might be thinking "Well that's the same for Nerfs" Well, yes and no, for PvP Yes because it ruins the game for people against said "OP" weapon but for PvE? The AI don't complain, and it's not like loot is easy to come by in Destiny when compared to something like Borderlands, or Diablo III, and that's sort of the point isn't it? to reward your sweat and blood and tears with a juicy piece of loot... Only to have it Nerfed by Bungie because it's "Toom Op in PvP and it's making babies cry and giving everyone Ebola" (Okay so I may have gone over the top there but you get the idea).
So I guess what I'm trying to say it, Stop Forcing PvE Players into PvP, Stop Nerfing Weapons FOR PvE! and all will be well with the world.

I've honestly never played a game with large elements of both pvp and pve where they weren't separated for the most part. Not to be the guy that brings up WOW again but it's a darn good example in this case. If you want to only do pve great you didn't have to depend on pvp for end game gear and vice versa. heck they even had the servers separated out by pvp and pve. As far as buffs and nerfs and op stuff it's ridiculous. I want the gun that one shots bosses but I want to know that it's hard as hell to get and not everybody can have it. Back to wow....legendary pieces were 1, that's right, 1 of each piece per server. You want the bow? If somebody got it prior to you....too bad. And I was alright with that when I considered what that dude had to do to get it. I dunno...it doesn't seem like there's a way to make anybody happy here unless there's a bigger separation between the two types of play. I know my wheelhouse and it's not pvp. I suck so I don't do it but I cringe knowing that in order to move forward I'm going to have to bite the bullet someday.
