Voting no means keep faction rewards the same as they are now.
Voting yes means to change them to reward us beyond meager motes and glimmer.
Vote FOR, or AGAINST faction rewards [u]beyond 5 motes of light, a strange coin, and a pittance of glimmer. Comment for your reasoning, and no matter your vote and reasoning, you have my appreciation and respect... as long as you establish you are respectable.[/u]
Eight.
That's how many "Down n Doubt" hand cannons I've received leveling vanguard 9 times.
So we are taking the role of the last of humanity, imbued with mysterious powers from a futuristic superior entity, so we can stand against the evil and fight for the entire survival of our future, in an epic battle that with our failure comes complete annihilation of ALL. We fight against superior forces of constantly unknown strength and powers of yet the history of our race has never seen that has almost wiped us from the cosmos.
O_O
And before we set our feet upon the ground to battle for the last of our existance, no matter how fleeting the moment we represent the battlefield soaked in chaos, wreaking of unimaginable odds and death.
And the faction/s we work for, when we finally reach a level after ALL that work, all that grinding, all that struggle.... where we are to receive a reward for our efforts... we are given 5 motes of light and a few of [i]anything else[/i] that is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY inconsequential.
Your payment for your battle against the darkness is a meager BELOW MINIMUM WAGE moment in time reward.
[b]BUNGIE.[/b] Stop rewarding ALL the work leveling factions [i][u]we represent[/u][/i] and who supply us to fight the war they don't with a measly 5 motes of light, a pitiful amount of coins, and [i]nerfed amount of glimmer (money payed for our efforts and time[/i].
Are we supposed to throw motes and coins at enemies with 3 times elemental burns?
Cmon Bungie.
We not only have to grind more because of NERFS for rep, NERFS for glimmer (because you removed it being obtained by standard combat without filtering the race we combat through a ghost OR a "glimmer booster that states "EXTRA" that doesn't provide extra it provides the now standard 50% of what USED TO BE OBTAINED), we have the nerfed REP that now takes twice as long, and the CRUCIBLE RNG REWARDS BUG you declared was an "oops" that transpired beginning year two [b]hasnt been fixed[/b] not by a long shot.
All that is on top of the fact your apparent definition of "weapon balance" isn't to "equally balance weapons"... But to "balance each weapon or its class of weapon to be the top of the meta" every other update by Jon Weisnewski and Sage Merrill (on crucible radio Sage Merrill was stating "[i]we don't have time to read players rants because we have OTHER SH*t to do[/i]"... When all you have to do is use the POLL FEATURE you have on YOUR OWN site and in your Destiny app. You don't need to "read the rants" Sage, you make a POLL.
In short, after nerfing glimmer by 50% earnings, never fixing the RNG bug from crucible and RNG rewards, nerfing patrol rep, nerfing pretty much all weapons in rotation to put others at the top of a grind list...
The LEAST you can do is have factions we work for ALWAYS reward players who work [i]for them[/i] get rewarded MORE than what appears to be below minimum wage to save the universe, humanity, and combat the darkness with a pathetic FiVe MoTeS of light, some strange coin or coins, and a pittance of glimmer that wouldn't fuel my non customizable ship with enough gas to NOT crash exiting the loading bay.
Sincerely,
The Fair Wage Union for Warriors saving Humanity.

The reward system in my opinion needs to be redone completely. First line of business is to make items earnable with tier, light level, grimoire, quest, leveling up, etc. This rng is f****** garbage.
And there needs to be some amazing creative situational useful different rewards. I'm tired of re-skins.
Artifacts and class items should have different and special perks. So whether it's from trials, iron banner, the raid, ect, these items have their own special perks, maybe even pertaining to where you got them from
Faction rewards are meh, doesn't matter what level you are with the faction, you get the same s***[/quote][/spoiler]

[spoiler][quote]Increasing the variety of rewards would also be great, my biggest gripe is definately the grind though. Ranking up in a faction is so much more work than it used to be. If they could boh increase variety and also increase rep gains (yeah right!) Then factions would be a much better experience[/quote][/spoiler]

[spoiler][quote]Voted. It's bad enough the nerf on rep gains make it so slow to rank up but now the last 10 times I've ranked up in my faction I've gotten the same pulse rifle 7 times. Thank you so much, considering pulse rifles are my least used weapon.[/quote][/spoiler]

[spoiler][quote]It's a grind now. Harder than it was before. I grinded all of my characters to level 25 for every faction.
You can go up one level a day, 3 or 4 on friday. I think the system is fine.[/quote][/spoiler]

Takes no effort to rank up factions. Rewards are fine.

Would be nice for all packages, like exotic engrams, to have a chance for items to drop at 310 rather than useless light levels once you hit 304+

Reading these posts has made me sad. Looks like people get armor at least for their trouble. Sadly I have yet to receive any armor since TTK from my DO packages. For weapons, I've gotten 1 DO infusion rifle. BTW I've ranked up at least 12 times since TTK launched.

I have been kind of lucky here. New Monarchy. Lvl 44 have everything FWC lvl 57. Need year 2 ship Dead Orbit 55. Need 1 year one ship and bittersteel. Saying this I have gotten the FWC helmut about 8 times. That is getting old.

Prior to ttk I had no ships and about 1/3 of all the shaders, all characters were rank 3+ in every faction and rank 25+ in their dedicated faction. Post ttk I have received 5 ships, all but one remaining shader, and no character is higher than 39. Rewards are doing a much better job. Now if you are talking about the significant decrease in rep received then that should definately be adjusted, or preferably reverted back to the way it was. The lack of rep received from bounties, weekly, nightfall etc is pathetic.

Bump.

I get armor every time I level up a faction. Every. Single. Time.
