It caused problems in both sandboxes no doubt, but as someone who enjoyed both modes the integration felt amazing, and it was well worth the balancing irregularities.

I get that there were a lot of pve only players, and that nerfs for pvp balancing were annoying, but for me it was a dream come true.

It was such a cool way to feel invested and engaged in both modes. Grinding for that god roll felt so rewarding when I could go take it into crucible. Grinding that crucible shader felt so cool when I could go show it off in a raid.

Im glad to be playing other games, other pvp, other pve, but nothing on the market right now gives me that same feeling of stepping into the shoes of my character and playing with them.

For all its ups and downs over the last decade, it was a really special game. I hope something similar comes along sooner than later!
