It's a reward to show you're the best of the best at PvP,

No, they're not. A player only needs to win 1 in every 6 team-based games to keep earning rep towards the rank requirements. It is mostly a time gate.

Let me rephrase: It's a reward for doing the closest thing Destiny has to offer that can be considered being the best of the best at PvP because Destiny doesn't offer anything more challenging and also because people bitched about IB back when losers didn't get any IB rep at all.

Better?
