I can't connect with some viewpoints. :( (Destiny)

there really is no reason to play Crucible--unless you like it.

Isn't that ideal?

I wish more of Destiny's activities were like that. In Y1 I was often doing activities because I felt like I had to for the good rewards. That's shitty. I don't want to play things that I don't enjoy, but you almost had to. I've never been a fan of Iron Banner, but shit, I better play because otherwise I'm missing out on free Etheric Light. I pity the folks that didn't like Prison of Elders, because they were screwed for getting Etheric Light . . . unless they played something they actively disliked.

Destiny is what it is, but I still feel like it could be vastly better if it was something different (which I know is just an asinine thing to say, and the very sort of thing I usually fight against when people say it). I've come to terms with the fact that I'll never have a max level character. Not because I don't have the skill, but because I don't enjoy grinding for loot. They said they added more avenues to get what you want, but unless you can do the Raid over and over, do IB every time, or play Trials, you're screwed for getting high level gear, and that sucks. I don't have enough time to raid every week, I don't like Iron Banner, and, although I've never done Trials, I don't typically enjoy Crucible in general, so that's probably a bust, too.

TL;DR: I'm glad crucible generally has crappy rewards . . . I don't feel like I'm missing out for mostly just ignoring it.
