I PvP because the raids bore me after 5-6 clears (Destiny)

The PvP is deeply fucking flawed. The 10 tick is stupid. The whole networking model is stupid. There's a lot of stupid involved in the game modes, weapon balance, map design, and class ability balance. But it also has a lot of depth. The character control and movement combined with the, frankly, odd weapon balance choices, mean that this is a game about positioning and map control more than it is about actual gunskill.

Regardless, it's more compelling to me than the "dance monkey dance" element of raiding over and over and over and over for the exact same fights every time. At least PvP is different enemies with different skills and tactics while the raids are insufferably the same every single time. Now, listen, I LOVE the raids. They're great fun! But they aren't sustained fun. They get boring. They become chores. They become why I quit WoW.

And then there's PvP, which is very, very, varied.

So yeah, I would absolutely PvE as a preferential activity. 100%. Except the content sucks. It's all samey as fuck. Go here, shoot that, wait for this door to open, and so forth. The groundwork is all there but the dots just haven't been connected yet.

So I PvP, which is at least kind of interesting. Until I can afford to buy Titanfall 2, I'm kind of stuck.
