I took a few weeks off from destiny recently, year one I played with all my friends we essentially played for the raids and the elusive exotics that at a small chance could be granted to you. This 10 different light level variation for weapons and armor per mode was just an awful idea to go with. I came back for challenge mode grabbed some checkpoints beat it on all 3 toons in an hour and called it quits. The challenge mode that really wasn't challenging was still very rewarding and my time spent in game was worthwhile. I decided to grab an oryx checkpoint tonight, wanted to beat oryx hardmode atleast with 2 of my character which I did. The second group of randoms had some newer players that were inexperienced with oryx. I don't do it very often because I'm usually working Saturdays but tonight I decided to stay and help them through oryx for there first time. Well both runs for both characters drop nothing but normal mode stuff and mouldering shards reminding me why I won't be wasting my time with this raid anymore with the exception of challenge mode CP's. I'm sure you have noticed I've continually mentioned how I grab checkpoints for the raid. That's a problem kings fall is a great raid which is why I buy destiny content... For the raids mainly. However kingsfall is so unrewarding that I will never enjoy the raid in its entirety again with the rewards in there current state. It doesn't respect our time what so ever and i thought that's one of many things you promised to take care of. Next week I won't run the raid up to golgoroth to do the challenge I'll grab a golgoroth CP because everything prior to that is a waste of my time with usually nothing but a hot plate of garbage as a reward. After I beat golgoroth what will I do? Yep you guessed it, I will leave without hesitation because everything after that is a huge waste of my time. Your raids are the best content your game has to offer in my opinion and yet you guys diminished that with your system in place for what? Just to simply artificially inflate play time with the raid which can already take long enough just to get through one session if you don't hit the LFG jackpot. I'd play with my friends but they played kingsfall once and quit playing altogether. Friends that had been playing and raiding every reset during year one. Does this not raise any red flags in the Dev Teams mind ? Do you not realize this isn't just something you put on a "wishlist" this is something you guys should be fixing right now! Challenge mode rewards are great but its like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound if you catch my drift. I most certainly will not praise you for the challenge mode set rewards with max light because this is how rewards should have been in the raid to begin with. However I'm sure the way you guys see it everyone is thinking well if we did that people would hit max light quicker and our numbers will drop which is true but players would take a break and leave destiny on a positive note. The way your system is now long time players are straight up leaving with a bad taste in there mouths of destiny. Some may come back but there's a lot that probably won't. I'm not sure how the community can delineate this to you guys any better, I've posted constructive solutions regarding this issue along with many others that have presented amazing ideas for this game not just for the raid but for everything. Bungie says this but they do that instead the same old song and dance it seems. I hope you guys are hard at work creating quality content for your community. Seems like your community is always hard at work dedicating time out of there busy lives to provide feedback to make your game better. They don't get a paycheck for it people are just passionate about destiny because they know it can be better a lot better! Show the community the same respect in that aspect that we show you guys.
