Destiny - Negative reviews, all the same 'complaints'...

Aren't the patrol farming methods much more efficient in getting legendaries and exotics than AFK PVPing? I actively played PVP yesterday and got zero loot and that was way worse than doing casual PvE (not even using the spawn point exploits that others use for farming). What's the advantage of AFK PVPing?

The advantage is you dont have to do anything.

Eh, still seems like more effort than it's worth, since you'd have to at least keep moving to keep from getting autobooted. And your PVP statistics would go to shit. And not to mention, if I have time to sit and pretend to PVP with a Vita in my hands, I'd probably have more fun, you know, actually playing. That's just me I guess.

I'm sure it's not too long before they start investigating folks with atrocious kill/death ratios to see what they're doing in matches, so I doubt it's a problem. (Even if it is a problem, woohoo, free kills in PVP).

I dunno, maybe I'll try PVPing tonight on my Vita while on my treadmill and see if I get any legendaries. Maybe it'll provide positive reinforcement for exercising.

After farming and getting my Cryptarch to level 3, I'm getting mostly rare stuff now which is good. All my gear is finally at least rare. I have gotten a couple purple drops that just ended up being blue rare stuff that sucked and one purple drop I got was for Hunter class and I'm Titan. Only purple thing I've ever gotten since launch day. Drops suck bad in this game.

Finally reached level 20. Farmed on earth near a cave with a few of my friends too. Then I played some crucible and completed 2 bounties. Hopefully I get some light armor soon. Already got a rare sniper and rare helmet.

Lol in this game you're never done hunting loot. The RNG hates me.

That was often the same story for me in WoW, but there are those turds who get super RNG lucky and get 2-3 pieces of gear in a single raid, and you always want to kill them. Being a Hunter in WoW was terrible like that, because it was always the Warrior/Paladin crap dropping.

I have no interest in this title, but seriously, it's not like the library for the new consoles offers a great deal of better choices atm.

There's the only reason I was considering it. However, I can tide myself over with Madden for another month, when I make a decision on an open-world racer. Then, there's Sunset Overdrive in October, Halo from November to January (thanks to the Guardians beta), then I should have a decent mix of stuff to last until Dying Light launches at the end of January.
