You are not being forced into PvP whatsoever, you can choose whether you wish to pursue the bounty, nobody is putting a gun to your head. There is no need to have every weapon in the game, there are also enough exotic bounties without PvP driven requirements. I understand your frustration and I respect your opinion on the matter, I just feel that owning certain weapons that 'tell a story' of how you earned them is a neat idea. I love using my Thorn, when others decide to inspect my gear, they'll know I worked my ass off to get it and that feels great. To those who are saying Destiny is PvP driven, please elaborate? With only four core game modes, compared to Halo & other modern shooters that is NOT a lot whatsoever. Also, you can earn rep for other factions by using their marks + farming chests / resources. Trade in 50 resources and you'll gain rep along with 5 marks & some cash.
