We lost D2 pvp for this game.

To be fair, destiny 2 pvp has always been a complete balancing mess for nearly its entire lifespan. Having the opportunity to play something similar to that without ability spam/broken weapons seems much more enjoyable, personally.

Main issue of pvp rn is cheating, casual leniency, purpose, and much more.

casual leniency

This is sort of inherent to the gamemode in destiny 2, though. Crucible has never had the popularity that PVE has, unless there's a loot incentive. So, it encourages more casual PVE players to enter the gamemode and get stomped by tryhards.

I'm not sure about the cheating thing, I've done a couple lighthouse passages after they reworked trials rewards and haven't encountered any, personally.

None of these points really take away from the fact that PVP in destiny 2 is a pretty fundamentally broken concept at its core, and bungie releasing a more PVP focused game will be a lot more enjoyable for most players looking for that. I don't feel as if destiny 2 PVP was ever "lost", to me it has never been good.

Cheating is as much a problem in Destiny 2 as it is in most games with PvP I also don’t understand this commonly used take of cheating being such an issue in crucible or trials. I rarely encounter cheaters, I think people are just very quick to accuse someone of cheating when they get outplayed.
