Competitive play and Meaning (Destiny)

Destiny had it right at launch when the lowest-skilled player in the match could get a Gjallarhorn to drop.

I don't disagree with basically anything you said, but just out of curiosity, how do you feel about stuff like the Black Spindle mission? It's not PvP, but it is (or was, I don't know if it's still difficult to obtain now) undoubtedly a special reward for at least somewhat skilled players. I guess I don't know the numbers, but anecdotal evidence of posts around here months after the mission was discovered by folks who were still attempting to get it shows that not everyone managed it. I like that it was a cool thing that was challenging to obtain, and I'm not necessarily sure why that shouldn't be true for PvP, too. It sucks, because I know its something I'm unlikely to see, but I'm not sure how much of a distinction between the two modes there should be. I feel like PvP players should be able to earn cool things, too, I guess.
