How would you feel about a PvPvE public event? (Destiny)

The Walker event is one of the few that you can trigger the Heroic event all by yourself, even if everyone else is just fighting to finish. (Glimmer extraction, too, usually, because the 4th important fallen doesn't come down in the first wave - you have to die to not have enough time to kill the generator by yourself.)

Yeah, I had that thought about glimmer extraction too. There have certainly been times where I was the only one shooting the generator and was still able to do it - provided I concentrated on ONLY doing that.

The Cabal mining laser thing is kind of the same way - killing the ship by yourself is doable if you commit to using some power weapon ammo, and the damned lasers don't take you out. You're only racing against the completion percentage, and that moves slowly enough that, if you were ever going to be able to kill the ship at all, you probably have enough time.
