On the flip side... (Destiny)

Right and I get that, that wasn't my point though :). If you are someone who LOVES PvP above all else, why would you care about getting a Trials weapon with elemental damage aside from bragging rights? At least now the weapon has an additional perk that helps with PvP for making it to the Lighthouse.

The reward before was like winning a footrace and them saying "Congratulations! Here's a swimming cap that will help you swim faster!"

Lol... I wouldn't go THAT far :)

The year 1 trials guns were some of the very best PvP weapons. My scholar got me to the Lighthouse several times, and the Messenger is still the best PvP gun in the game if you ask me.

Looking at the year 2 Adept weapons, it's like they said "well we want to make them 100% PvP focused, but we don't want them to be overpowered either. So we'll give them a bonus PvP ability that is almost useless".

To me, it makes the new adept weapons less exciting or desirable, that's all :)
