Faction packages capped at 390 is really lame
Really bad move Bungie.
Edit: Now with 100% more fun exotic farming
Edit 2: So after running Trials this morning, I find the avenues to progression even more vexing and inconsistent.
A large number of people who disagree think that faction ranks are too easy and that it's not earning endgame light levels and with that in mind, someone please justify Trials rewards.
You can do nothing. Lose every match. Never get a kill. Never try and get post match armor drops up to 400. But the gold tier bounty that actually requires a little effort and 20 round wins drops at 390...
What the actual -blam!-?
If it's about playing endgame content to earn your light, why would the bounty that requires effort not give it but the post match rewards do?
Again, this shit isn't consistent and that's my problem with cutting off factions. It's arbitrary and changes nothing in being able to get max light without raiding other than punish people who play solo.

Edited by Shaddow: 1/15/2017 1:03:09 PMReward for the effort to level up a faction now equates to zero. I agree with OP; this mentality of giving a participation medal in the form of up to 400 light drops from pvp regardless of performance is a joke. In contrast, put the effort into levelling up a faction and get rewarded with a useless item post 390 light. I'm at 394 and the climb now is ridiculously slow. I know Bungie wants to string out the Destiny experience (and so keep people playing and buying silver etc.). Even exotic engrams seem to set to give you almost zero chance of getting an exotic item you don't already have (probably for the same reason) but the climb from 365 light onwards becoming increasing difficult the higher you get, grinding almost to a snail pace, to just way too much. Yeah Bungie just use s#!t design and gambling psychology to keep people playing instead of providing a decent amount of content for the $$$ people pay for the game and all the DLC.
